    Rana Daggubati goes international with ‘A Momentary Lapse Of Reason’

    MUMBAI: South hero Rana Daggubati will shortly make his debut in international cinema with Aditya Bhattacharya’s A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, being produced by Asif Noor, Aditya Bhattacharya and SunitaTati under the banner of Hyderabad-based Guru Films.

    Raakh is the story of a young man, who, after witnessing the public humiliation and abuse of a female friend, vows to avenge her by going after the hoodlums.

    Said Bhattacharya, “Rana perfectly fits the role as the scion of a wealthy Hyderabad Industrialist with real-estate ambitions in Los Angeles, who gets brutally sucked into that city‘s underbelly, setting off a chain of events that sucks him into a vortex of violence till he finds an unlikely ally and mentor in an over-the-hill LA Cop and the game changes.”

    Though the cast of the film hasn‘t been disclosed yet, it will have an ensemble of Hollywood A-listers.

    Daggubati, who shot to fame in Bollywood with Dum Maaro Dum, will soon be seen in Ram Gopal Varma‘s Department.
