The Ghazi Attack is Rana's first film after his Tamil movie Bangalore Naatkal released last year. The 32-year-old actor plays the role of naval officer Lieutenant Commander Arjun Verma and co-starred with Taapsee Pannu and Kay Kay Menon in India's first underwater war film. In his review for NDTV Movies, Saibal Chatterjee writes: "One might be taken up a bit with the obvious novelty of the genre - The Ghazi Attack is India's first underwater war film."
