Not Rashmika Mandanna but Parineeti Chopra was signed for Animal

1 of 1

Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film ‘Animal’ became a huge hit all over the world including India. In this film, Rashmika Mandanna played the role of Ranbir Kapoor’s wife Geetanjali. Although Rashmika was not director Sandeep’s first choice. When he was making ‘Animal’, he had cast Parineeti Chopra for the role of ‘Geetanjali’ but replaced her at the last moment.

Sandeep revealed this in a conversation with Komal Nahta. Sandeep said that actually it is my fault. I said, ‘If possible, forgive me.’ I had signed her one and a half year ago, but due to some reason before the shoot, I did not see the glimpse of ‘Geetanjali’ in her. Some character sets are not suitable for some people. I never believe in auditions. I just trust my instincts.

I have loved Parineeti’s acting since day one and I always wanted to cast her in the role of ‘Preeti’ in ‘Kabir Singh’, but it didn’t happen. This is long overdue. I always wanted to work with him. I told her and she knows it. I told him, ‘Sorry. Nothing is bigger than the film. So I am changing my decision and casting another artist. He felt bad, but he understood why I was saying this.
