Rana Daggubati and Regina Cassandra visit Emirates Palace ahead of SIIMA 2017



Indian stars Rana Daggubati and Regina Cassandra visited Emirates Palace ahead of the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) in association with Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi).

On Saturday film crew and celebrities from four southern Indian states – Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh – will descend on Abu Dhabi.

Going by past Siima instalments Adnec is set to resound with thumping dance sequences set to popular tracks, all led by top artists, such as Pooja Hegde, Hansika, Shriya Saran and indomitable songstress Usha Uthup. Fans are also hoping that Rana Daggubati will be among those taking to the stage. The actor is no stranger to Abu Dhabi – he was here in 2014, alongside Bollywood action hero Akshay Kumar, for the filming of the thriller Baby.
