Sandeep Reddy Vanga Reveals Ranbir Kapoor DISLIKED This in Animal: ‘He Said Ye Nikal Do…’

Sandeep Reddy Vanga said there was only one thing that Ranbir Kapoor said no to in Animal. The actor worked with the Telugu filmmaker for the first time in Animal and has done a number of bold scenes, including baring it all for the camera and filming intimate scenes with Triptii Dimri. Sandeep, in a new interview, said that Ranbir did not object to any scene or dialogue but was not only with the tag ‘superstar’ associated to his name in the title credits of the film.

“He didn’t like it at all. I was going to place the superstar tag in the audio teaser. He saw and he said, ‘Nahi, ye nikal do. They do it in the South but not here.’ I told him, ‘Ranbir, this is my feeling, my conviction.’ Through the three years we’ve worked together, that was the only thing Ranbir refused to. He never said no for anything. By the time the poster came in, I told him, ‘If you say no also, I am going to put it.’ That is my feeling, that he is a superstar,” Sandeep told Komal Nahta in an interview.

“I have seen his movies in Hyderabad and I have noticed the crowd cheer for him. I feel that only a star gets that welcome. Without a reason I had that feeling, you cannot reason out a few things. I felt like giving him the superstar tag. No one asked me why we gave him that tag. He is not on social media. If you want to see him, you have to give money over the counter and see him (in theatres). He doesn’t do many ads either so that’s a star na,” he added.

Animal has emerged as Ranbir’s biggest film of his career. The film has collected over Rs 500 crore in India.
