“Prateik and I were the first ones to reach Goa ” – Rana Daggubati : Bollywood News

Goa is India's smallest state by area and the fourth smallest by population. Now try visiting Goa from November to January and you really want the Government of India to check their statistics, and now that I've mentioned Goa, I have to mention Rohan Sippy's Dum Maaro Dum.

What everyone knows about Dum Maaro Dum is Goa. But what no one knows about Dum Maaro Dum is that Rana Daggubati and Prateik Babbar were the first ones to step on the mystic island before the shoot even commenced.

“Prateik and I were the first ones to reach Goa ” – Rana Daggubati

Recalls Rana, "Yes, Prateik and I were the first ones to reach Goa. We were called a few days before Rohan Sippy could start his shoot. The basic intention was to live for a few days and get accustomed to the Goan vibe. Of course, not many know this but I visit Goa once a year."

We've also heard from the grapevine that Prateik too visits Goa quite often with his friends and that it's his second home. Prateik says, "Goa is the best place to unwind and I love it there. It's my second home. I love how Goa is so very relaxed."

We corner Rana by asking, "You wished you'd romance Deepika too in the film, isn't it?" To which the debutant answered, after a brief pause, "Well, I have Bipasha with me so I am Ok. Come to think of it, I wish I had both, Deepika and Bipasha." He laughs and then continues, "Deepika is looking absolutely gorgeous in 'Mit Jaaye Gham' but Bipasha too is looking smokin' hot in the film. Let the film release and we will come to know how hot Goa is."

Rana, all we can say by looking at this exclusive picture is that you and Bipasha make quite a 'hot pair', and that we can surely gauge as we are feeling the heat already!
