Rana Daggubati
A month ago, actor and producer Rana Daggubati was summoned by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) for questioning in a betting app case. The actor has now addressed the controversy and his role in it. He was in Mumbai for the launch of his alcohol brand when he spoke about the matter.

On Saturday, while launching his liquor brand Loca Loca in Mumbai, Rana spoke to Bombay Times and said, “Those are legalities that keep changing. They’ll take their due course. There’s a law of the land, and we’ll always abide by it.” Addressing how he associates his name with any product, he added, “The first thing is getting the product right if the quality is fine and what you’re putting out there is fair, that’s as mindful as I would be while attaching my name to anything.”
Last month, after his questioning, Daggubati had spoken to reporters outside the SIT office. PTI quoted him saying, “What happened has happened, and now we are just going to take the right ways to communicate the right messaging about these gaming apps.” ANI also reported him saying, “We are going to use the right ways to communicate the right message about gaming and gaming apps. The legalities will be completed later. But I am here to do whatever is needed to help spread the message.”
The Telangana government set up the SIT, overseen by the Additional Director General of Police and the CID, to combat unlawful betting. Earlier this year, the Telangana police filed FIRs against 25 celebrities and influencers including Rana, Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, and Manchu Lakshmi — for allegedly promoting illegal gambling apps on social media.

The actor was last seen in the recently released film Kaantha, in which he shared the screen with Dulquer Salmaan. He played an investigating officer in the Tamil period drama set in the 1950s. Rana also co-produced the film with his co-star Dulquer. Earlier this year, Daggubati appeared in the second season of the Netflix series Rana Naidu, which premiered in June and also stars his uncle, veteran actor Venkatesh Daggubati.
