“Rauf has been one of the most raw, intense, and unfiltered characters I’ve ever had the chance to play,” he admitted. “Characters like Rauf, who are completely unhinged and unapologetic, don’t come around often. It was a rare opportunity, and I feel lucky to have stepped into his chaotic world.”

It’s not just the thrill of playing a dark character that excites Rampal. It’s the connection the audience has formed with Rauf. “Knowing that the character is resonating with viewers means everything. It’s the kind of validation every actor hopes for,” he said.

Rampal’s career has often witnessed his choice to stay away from safe, formulaic roles. Whether it’s in films or web series, he seems to always look for something that challenges him.

‘Rana Naidu’ Season 2 comes in creation of Karan Anshuman. The directors are Anshuman along with Suparn Verma and Abhay Chopra.

It dives deeper into the messy, morally grey world of the Naidu family and the dangerous people they entangle with.

The show is streaming now on Netflix.
