Atul Kulkarni & Rana Daggubati Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Atul Kulkarni acted in every film; Rana Daggubati acted in all of them.

Partnership facts

• Atul Kulkarni was the one who pushed Rana Daggubati to take up 'The Ghazi Attack'. Rana was hesitant about playing a Navy officer in a war film set underwater. Atul convinced him it was a once-in-a-lifetime role.
• In 'Arrambam', Atul played the cold-blooded villain while Rana was the charming antagonist. They never shared a single scene together. Their only connection was through the hero Ajith — yet both made their characters memorable by playing off the same energy.
• Because of their collaboration on 'The Ghazi Attack', the film's Telugu version became a massive hit. That success directly led to Rana producing the Hindi remake 'Ghazi' — making Atul the only actor to appear in both versions of the same film.
• During the underwater training for 'The Ghazi Attack', Atul and Rana shared a tiny submarine simulator for hours. They developed a hand-signal system to communicate inside the cramped space — a code they still use as a joke when they meet at events.
• Rana once said: 'Atul is the only co-star who has yelled at me on set and made me like it. He pushed me to be better in Ghazi. I owe that film's intensity to him.'
