Before Taking Up Acting

Doing It The Right Way
Before pursuing her career in the filed of cinema, Ranya did a fourth-month course to get the nuances of acting right. "I wanted some training before I set out to pursue a career here. So, I did a four-month course."

The Debut
Ranya Rao, who hails from the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka, made her acting debut with Sudeep-starrer Maanikya, a Kannada film, that eventually landed her a role in Wagah.

"I have been getting appreciation for my work and I'm happy to debuted with a performance-oriented role. I feel that the film has given me a good start for my career in Kollywood," she told Times of India.
The 23-year-old went on to say that Tamil cinema is blessed with the best of technicians and directors and hence it has been fabricating the best of movies.
"I live in Mumbai and ever since I told them I was doing a Tamil film, my friends there were excited. The best of films, technicians and directors come from Kollywood," she has said and added that Mani Ratnam is her favourite film-maker.
