Rana Daggubati and director Karthik Subbaraj are redefining stardom. Discussing their upcoming war drama *Neelira*, hitting screens April 3, 2026, the duo paid a powerful tribute to Rajinikanth, labeling the legend a true cultural aspiration.

Rana rejects box-office metrics, defining real success as leaving a lasting emotional impact. It is raw, cinematic, and deeply personal—a bold new vision for Indian cinema.
