Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial ‘Animal’ has created a lot of hype among the audience ever since its announcement and the trailer has raised everyone’s expectations of the film.
The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles with Bobby Deol as the main antagonist. Bobby Deol has become the topic of discussion on social media as the fans can’t stop gushing over his impressive transformation for ‘Animal’. During the trailer launch of ‘Animal’, Bobby talked about how he got the role in the film.
Recalling his meeting with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, he said, “The condition of my career was such that I never thought that I would get such a great role.” He revealed that Sandeep showed him his picture when he was playing Celebrity Cricket League.
He added, “Sandeep showed me photo of mine from the time I was playing Celebrity Cricket League, I wasn’t working much at the time. In the photo, I was looking away in the horizon. He said I want to cast you because of this expression. This is what I want for the film ‘I said chalo bekaari ke din kaam aa gaye’ (my jobless days worked for me).”
‘Animal’ is a gangster film that explores the turbulent relationships between father and son, eventually leading to the protagonist becoming an ‘animal’ in nature.
Rashmika Mandanna earlier talked about her experience of working with Ranbir. She told Filmfare, “He’s extremely loving. I was, of course, nervous when I met him first, but I think he’s so easy-going that five minutes into the look test, we were already very comfortable with each other. Thinking about it, it’s amazing how easy it’s been so far with Ranbir and Sandeep.”
The movie was supposed to release in August 2023 but got postponed. It also stars Triptii Dimri in a pivotal role. ‘Animal’ will hit the theatres on December 1, 2023.
