Triptii Dimri Opens Up About Filming Viral Intimate Scene With Ranbir Kapoor In 'Animal'
Triptii Dimri is the talk of the town ever since Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal' released in theatres on December 1.
Bollywood actress Triptii Dimri is the talk of the town ever since Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal' released in theatres alongside Vicky Kaushal's 'Sam Bahadur'. The new Hindi movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, released in theatres on December 1, 2023. It has collected more than Rs 400 crore in India. In the film, Triptii Dimri has a small yet impactful role. In 'Animal', Triptii Dimri is playing Ranbir Kapoor’s lover, who is later revealed to be a mole.
But before the twist is revealed, there is a blooming romance between the two characters.
“There were many, many discussions that happened before we shot it,” Triptii Dimri told Indian Express.
“The day he offered me the film, Sandeep sir had categorically told me, ‘Hey this is the scene I want to shoot; I am looking at it this way. I promise you that it won’t be vulgar, that it will be aesthetically shot. But I have to look for your comfort. So if you are not comfortable, we will think of a different way to do it. But you need to tell me honestly,'” she added.
Triptii Dimri then said that she took time to think, and eventually, she gave the go-ahead to the director.
“When you sign a project, you do with the understanding of what you are getting into. The rape scene in Bulbull was more traumatic, this wasn’t. There I had to leave behind myself to portray that on screen. When you sign a film, you have to make sure you give your 100 percent," Triptii Dimri said.
Triptii Dimri also shared that Ranbir Kapoor made her feel completely comfortable on the sets of 'Animal', and she also talked about how the entire set was closed down when the said sequence was shot.
“Ranbir made sure I was comfortable. There was obviously that hiccup, I was nervous, but he made me feel very comfortable. There were literally four people on set. Me Ranbir, the DoP Amit Roy and Sandeep sir. Even the monitors were shut to make sure I am in a comfortable space and doing well. Everything was taken care of," Triptii shared.
“When you are made to feel that safe and comfortable, then you feel good. It felt like a safe space, of working with people who respect you and the process. Safe sets are the most important. I was told that the set is closed and if I feel the need to stop, I could say cut as well. That’s what gave me immense confidence as well,” she added.
Despite facing criticism for glorifying toxic masculinity in certain disturbing scenes, ‘Animal’ continues to perform extraordinarily well at the box office.
'Animal' will look to enter the Rs 500 crore club, but it all depends on how the movie performs in its third weekend.
