Sandeep Reddy Vanga dispels rumors of Mahesh Babu’s involvement in ‘Animal,’ clarifying it wasn’t the pitched script.
In the buzzing world of Indian cinema, the much-anticipated release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Animal” starring Ranbir Kapoor is just around the corner, hitting screens on December 1st. Yet, amidst the excitement, there were whispers that initially, Tollywood’s own Superstar Mahesh Babu was slated to be the lead before Ranbir stepped into the spotlight.
Was Mahesh Babu Offered Animal Movie?
Setting the record straight, Vanga, the creative genius behind the cult hits “Arjun Reddy” and “Kabir Singh,” addressed the rumors at the film’s pre-release press meet in Hyderabad. He quashed the speculation with a candid revelation, asserting that the script he pitched to Mahesh was an entirely different project. “No, Animal is not the story I’ve narrated to Mahesh. I’ve narrated him Devil, which has a similar kind of characterisation, but then it is more violent than this film,” clarified Vanga, putting an end to the grapevine.
As the spotlight shifted to the casting choices, curiosity peaked among media folks. When asked which Tollywood hero would best fit the shoes of Ranbir Kapoor, Vanga didn’t hesitate, promptly declaring, “Mahesh.” It seems like the filmmaker has a penchant for envisioning the Superstar in his future projects, dropping subtle hints that a collaboration might just be on the cards after he wraps up projects with Prabhas and Allu Arjun.
The revelation adds a new layer of excitement for fans who can’t wait to see Ranbir Kapoor bring “Animal” to life on the big screen. With Vanga’s penchant for intense characterizations and Mahesh Babu’s potential involvement in a future project, the world of Indian cinema continues to offer surprises, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
As the clock ticks down to December 1st, cinephiles can’t help but wonder if this is just the beginning of a new chapter in the Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Mahesh Babu saga. Let the countdown to “Animal” begin!
