Jeevan, who gained recognition after participating in Dhee Season 15, recently shared an emotional moment with his followers on Instagram. The aspiring actor posted an audition tape for Rahul Sankrityan’s upcoming film Ranabaali, which stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. What made the moment even more special was Jeevan’s heartfelt reaction after Vijay personally informed him that he would be cast in the film.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Jeevan broke down, making the video for fans who witnessed his journey from reality television to a big-screen opportunity. Jeevan wrote in the caption, "Ranabaali movie auditions video. Meku na acting nachite pakka comment box @thedeverakonda @rahulsankrityan @mythriofficial @rashmika_mandanna tag cheyandi guys (If you like my acting, please tag them in the comments)."
Impressed by Jeevan’s performance, Vijay Deverakonda urged the team of Ranabaali to cast him immediately, calling him 'immense talent', while the film’s official account also praised his performance. Overwhelmed, Jeevan responded with gratitude, saying he was extremely happy and would cherish the moment for life.
Jeevan posted on Instagram, "Guys, Vijay Deverakonda anna has responded to my Ranabaali audition video. You are the reason he has responded to me. I have always said I can make it to the silver screen as long as you support me. I must thank everybody who commented on my audition video and supported me."
He further added, "Thanks a lot Vijay anna. It’s great of you to support people like me. The Ranabaali team has also liked my audition video. Their team messaged me after he commented and took my contact number. I must thank everyone from the Ranabaali team. This proves that social media has the power to turn a zero into a hero and vice versa. I hope this opens doors to more such opportunities."
About Ranabaali: Ranabaali is a period drama set between 1854 and 1878, delving into the devastating impact of the Great Indian Famine while also highlighting the resistance against colonial rule. Scheduled for release on September 11, the film has already generated significant buzz for its powerful backdrop and narrative. It also marks the much-anticipated reunion of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, who previously shared screen space in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.
