Nani Compares Himself With Ram Charan As He Responds On Nepotism Debate

Nani and Rana open up on the ongoing insider vs outsider debate as they attend a popular talk show 

Rana Daggubati and Nani recently shot for the popular talk show ‘Nijam with Smitha’ streaming on the OTT platform SonyLiv. Both the actors spoke about the most trending topic nepotism. Nani who is a self-made star and hails from a non-filmy background compared himself with Ram Charan, and said, "One lakh people will watch Nani’s first film, while one crore people will watch Charan’s first film. It's the audience, who is responsible for encouraging nepotism as people always want to see their idol's sons and daughters on the big screen."

Rana who carries the legacy of the Akkineni-Daggubati family also shared his views on the insider vs outsider debate. He said, “If you can’t carry on your parents’ achievements and legacy, then you’re doing a disservice to your family.”
