In Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film “Animal,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, the storyline delves into the intricate father-son relationship. Interestingly, Sandeep Reddy initially shared the movie’s plot with superstar Mahesh Babu, who, despite finding the emotional depth appealing, felt the wild character didn’t align well with his sensibilities, leading him to decline the role.

Fans, having seen the trailer, now express on social media that had Mahesh Babu accepted the part, the film might have reached greater heights. They compare Ranbir’s role to an extreme version of Mahesh Babu’s character in ‘BusinessMan.’ There’s a history of Mahesh Babu turning down scripts he appreciated, which later turned into blockbuster hits, including instances similar to Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa.’

Observing the ‘Animal’ trailer, comments speculate how Mahesh Babu would have portrayed the intense emotions akin to Ranbir Kapoor. Some suggest Mahesh’s involvement might have added another layer of depth to the film, prompting discussions about the potential impact of his performance on the storyline’s emotional essence.

Ultimately, while fans wonder about Mahesh Babu’s portrayal in ‘Animal,’ the comparison raises curiosity about the emotional resonance he could have brought to the character, complementing or even surpassing Ranbir Kapoor’s interpretation.
