Ranbir on why he finds Animal his darkest film

Ranbir has often said that he finds Animal his darkest film. He has now revealed the reason in depth.

“It’s the darkest film I’ve done because I’m not playing any psycho killer in it. The character, his mind and the way he operates – his psyche – is very dark. It’s not somebody that I am or can relate to,” Ranbir said, adding that he found the character interesting since it was new and original.

On working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga

Ranbir has collaborated with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for the first time. This is also the second Bollywood film of Sandeep, after Kabir Singh, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in the lead roles. Animal stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead.

While talking about working with Sandeep, Ranbir called him an original director who has nothing referenced in his films. He found his character very new and added, “I learned a lot about heroism, characters and a grey character like this.”
