New Delhi:
Cop dramas have proved to be great entertainers in the past with the success of films like Wanted, Dabangg and Singham but actor Rana Daggubati says his upcoming movie Department is nothing like them.
The 26-year-old will be seen playing a cop in the new Ram Gopal Varma directed film, which gives an inside view of the police department.
"The movie is totally different from other quintessential masala flicks. There is a lot more reality on display in Department that makes it different from a Singham or Dabangg. In fact there is no comparison whatsoever," Daggubati said.
The actor, who started his career in Bollywood opposite Bipasha Basu in Dum Maro Dum, says the film has been shot in real locations and he was given individual references by Varma to understand in detail the working of a police department.
"We have been quite honest about the setting and for that credit must go to Ramu. Right from the time that I signed the film, he gave me a lot of briefing around what indeed goes behind the walls of police department. He gave me quite a few individual references and I had a number of months available for me to prepare for the role. We met on a regular basis and now that we are shooting for the film, the learning process is still on. It is pretty much on the job training for me," Daggubati added.
The actor started his career with a superhit film down South, says he enjoys all the female attention he gets despite not doing any romcom so far.
"What is surprising and something that I really like a lot is that such female attention is coming in despite the fact that the films I have done are very genre based. They haven't been those mainstream romcom films that girls usually like. It's a great feeling of acceptance that sets in when you find that there is actually a section of female audience out there that has liked these films," Daggubati said.
