Parineeti Chopra has no regrets about turning down a major role in Animal, despite the film’s massive success. The actress revealed that she had another exciting opportunity at the same time, and she chose it over the film starring Ranbir Kapoor.
Parineeti Chopra On Why She Rejected Animal For Chamkila
Speaking on India TV’s Aap Ki Adalat with her husband, Raghav Chadha, Parineeti opened up about her decision. She explained that she was on the verge of signing Animal, and everything seemed to be falling into place.

Looking back, the actress has no second thoughts about her choice. She shared that working with her dream director, Imtiaz Ali, and the chance to showcase her singing talent were key factors in her decision.
“Main sach batau toh I think upar wala mere liye kuch achcha hi kar raha tha. Wo film main kar rahi thi. Aur almost sab workout ho hi gaya tha. Lekin bilkul same dates pe mujhe Chamkila ka offer aaya tha,” Parineeti explained.
On Choosing Diljit Dosanjh Starrer
She added that the role in Chamkila offered her more than just acting. The film, which also featured music by AR Rahman, allowed her to explore her singing skills, and she was excited about the opportunities it presented.

“Aur jo pyaar, jo respect, jo recognition, aur nominations mujhe Chamkila ki wajah se mile hai, I don’t think I can regret it to main to khush hi hu,” she added.
Chamkila released in April this year on Netflix. The film explores the life of the legendary Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila, and Parineeti’s performance earned her widespread appreciation.
