"Mix Of…": 'Animal' Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Ultimate Praise For Ranbir Kapoor
'Animal' director Sandeep Reddy Vanga feels Ranbir Kapoor has no limitations as an actor and he likened him to three of the biggest actors in the world.
'Animal' director Sandeep Reddy Vanga feels Ranbir Kapoor has no limitations as an actor, and he believes that he has managed to present the actor in a never-seen-before avatar in their upcoming film 'Animal', which also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Rashmika Mandanna. The 'Animal' trailer was released on Thursday afternoon, and fans are just not able to stop talking about the clip. 'Animal' revolves around a father (Anil Kapoor) and son (Ranbir Kapoor) and their troubled bond. For the unversed, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is known for his projects like 'Arjun Reddy', and 'Kabir Singh'.
“Ranbir is a great actor, he is in a different league altogether. He is very original. I feel he is a mix of so many actors, it is wrong to compare to other actors, (But) I feel he is a mix of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Kamal Haasan. This man (Ranbir) has no limitation," said Sandeep, as reported by news agency PTI.
“He doesn’t get angry like his character (in the film). He is a very calm person. I remember when I used to write rageful scenes, I would ask him so many times, ‘Ranbir, when do you get angry?’ He would say, ‘I don’t get angry, and Sandeep this is the 7th or 9th time you are asking me this’," he added.
Talking about Ranbir Kapoor's 'Rockstar', which released in 2011, Sandeep Reddy Vanga said, "I saw two shows of Rockstar on the same day. I loved him and I told him about this. I never thought I would get to work with him. As a concept film, this is my second film. I’m glad I got to work with him this early. He had called me saying, ‘We should work (together)’. This is after Kabir Singh."
"He had actually sent me a text message after Arjun Reddy, and I had not seen his message as it came from an unknown number. It was such a mistake. I was so happy when I learnt about it," he added.
In 'Animal', Bobby Deol is playing the role of the main antagonist.
Talking about Bobby Deol, Sandeep said, "He is a great guy. From day one, we had Bobby in mind. I had called him in 2020 or 2021, he was promoting Class of 83. For one of the scenes where he is bare-chested, we shot it in Scotland in minus three degrees. He came, he did the shot."
For the unversed, 'Animal' is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar’s T-Series, Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios and Pranay Reddy Vanga’s Bhadrakali Pictures. The movie will be releasing in theatres on December 1, 2023 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
“I’m so happy that everybody is liking it. I gave more than three years for this film. It all feels good when people like your work. I think the film will be a blockbuster. It’s been a while since there has been a story about father and son," said Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
