The trailer of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, was released on November 23 and has created a sensation among the fans and cinephiles on social media.
The trailer, which was over three minutes long, showcases Ranbir Kapoor in a violent and obsessive avatar, as he seeks revenge from his father Anil Kapoor and his rival Bobby Deol. The film, which is slated to release one day from today on December 1, is expected to be a gritty and dark action thriller with a twisted father-son relationship at its core.
Ahead of the film’s release, Sandeep Reddy Vanga opens up about meeting Shah Rukh Khan recently at T-Series office.

Animal Director wants to direct Shah Rukh Khan
On asking, what kind of film he would like to make with SRK, he responded, “I don’t know what kind of film I would make, but I definitely wish to make a film with Shah Rukh Khan,” he says briefly. After directing intense films like Kabir Singh and Animal, Sandeep has a desire to make a comedy film someday. “I have a comedy script but I don’t know when I will do it. There is a thought, it’s not a family comedy but again, I can’t tell you the exact subject.”.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga Remembers All Shah Rukh Khan Films, Says His Last Two Theatrical Experiences Were Pathaan And Jawan
The director in another recent interview said that his last two theatrical experiences were Pathaan and Jawan. Vanga who’s known to portray his lead actors in a negative shade himself, seemed to be an ardent Shah Rukh Khan follower as he remembered all his 90s movies where he played negative roles.
Pathaan and Jawan are both action thrillers that feature Shah Rukh Khan in dual roles. In Pathaan, he plays an exiled RAW agent who teams up with an ISI agent (Deepika Padukone) to stop a former RAW agent (John Abraham) from unleashing a deadly virus on India. In Jawan, he plays a father and son duo who fight against corruption and injustice in society. Both the films have been huge box office successes and have received critical acclaim.
