Vikram had few words against Rana Daggubati in a recent interview with Hindustan Times. Versatile actor responded to a question about why southern male actors don't survive in Bollywood.
Rana Daggubati was very much disappointed and bounced back on Vikram comments through a social networking site.

Vikram explained it as, "Look at Rana Daggubati. He started in the Telugu industry and came to Bollywood, but he hadn't made any headway in the south. Now he's not bothered about the Telugu industry." Vikram also concluded by saying he don't want to lose south as he is busy with Shankar's film, which is about 145 crore and he don't want to leave that.

Rana Daggubati responded on this issue in a social networking site and tweeted, "Dear Mr.Vikram I see you quote me and my directions in quite a few media interactions of yours recently. It is best if you focus on your career that isn't headed in the right direction with close to 10 odd disasters in your kitty I'm barely 2 1/2yrs old as an actor and you are almost close to 25 years. Stay put on yours as I am on mine :-) not take anything away...Still a huge fan of few of your films." Let's hope the issues calm down soon between Rana and Vikram.
