Path-breaking hit, Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Reddy Vanga as his second project remade the same film in Hindi. Titled Kabir Singh, the film starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani as the lead pair went on to become a massive blockbuster there also.
As his third directional film, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is directing a film titled, Animal. Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna as the lead pair, the film went on the floors in late summer. Currently, the film’s shooting is underway at one of the studios in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, before finalizing Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead, Sandeep Reddy planned to rope in Bollywood heroine Parineeti Chopra as the female lead in Animal but due to reasons unknown, she is replaced with Rashmika. Revealing the reason behind not being a part of Animal, Parineeti in a recent interview with an English web portal said “These things happen, it is a part and parcel of life. We must make such choices every day. You make the choice that is right for you”. However, Parineeti Chopra remained tight-lipped on why she refused Animal.
