The grand success of Arjun Reddy opened up bigger spaces for the film’s director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, starting with the Hindi remake of the film, Kabir Singh, which went on to make hundreds of crores at the box office. This cemented his chance with Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, with whom the director is now all set to collaborate with, for Animal.
The film was announced some time ago, but the shooting hasn’t yet begun. It was also announced that Parineet Chopra would be playing the female lead in the film. According to the latest reports, director Sandeep Reddy has now roped in Rashmika Mandanna for the role of the leading lady as well. While some are saying that she has replaced Parineeti, some others are saying that Rashmika has been approached to play another part.
While there’s no clarity over which part Rashmika has been approached for, it is being said that Rashmika was impressed by the script and has even signed on the dotted line. After Animal, Sandeep is all set to collaborate with Prabhas for Spirit.
