Apsara Rani who is reportedly from Odisha and had worked in a Telugu film '4 Letters' in 2019 is born and brought up in Dehradun and presently lives in Hyderabad. Apsara Rani-a model-turned-actress actual name is reportedly Anketa Maharana.

A director of his repute glorifying the state for hurricanes and beauties and saying of not hearing about the state since 20 years speaks a lot about his interests in the country. More so, his knowledge about Orissa not Odisha which he rediscovered through Apsara Rani.
Ram Gopal Varma has recently been booked in connection with his upcoming film Murder allegedly based on Pranay Kumar's murder in Nalgonda district.
