Raanna considers Sudeep like an elder brother

One of the most anticipated debuts in Sandalwood this year is of Raanna. He is the son of actress

Mamta Rao

and brother of Rakshitha. He is making his debut with Ek Love Ya which is being directed by his brother-in-law Prem. Raanna has maintained that he was very fortunate to have such good

inspiration

at home itself in a recent interview. He also mentioned that he has received some sound advice from Sandalwood star Sudeep, who he considers to be like an elder brother.
Ek Love Ya, meanwhile, also stars newbie Reeshma Nanaiah and Rachita Ram. The film has a little more shooting left and is slated to release later this year tentatively.
