Earlier
this
year,
it
was
announced
that
Ranbir
Kapoor
will
be
teaming
up
for
a
gangster
film
with
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga
who
made
his
Bollywood
directorial
debut
with
Shahid
Kapoor's
2019
blockbuster
film
Kabir
Singh.
Reportedly,
the
film
was
titled
Devil
and
was
slated
to
go
on
floors
after
Ranbir
completed
the
shoot
of
Brahmastra
and
Shamshera.
However,
the
latest
reports
state
that
the
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga
directorial
has
undergone
a
major
change
and
it
has
a
Salman
Khan
connection.
Did
Sajid
Nadiadwala
Refuse
To
Part
With
The
Title
'Devil'?
A
report
in
Bollywood
Hungama
stated
that
the
makers
have
decided
to
change
the
title
since
Devil
has
been
registered
with
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala.
The
report
further
stated
that
the
veteran
producer
refused
the
request
to
part
with
the
title
rights
because
he
is
toying
with
the
idea
to
use
it
as
a
title
for
Salman
Khan's
Kick
sequel.
Ranbir
Kapoor-Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga's
Film
Now
Titled
Animal?
Buzz
is
that
the
title
of
this
Ranbir
Kapoor
starrer
has
now
changed
from
Devil
to
Animal.
Reportedly,
Ranbir
met
director
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga
and
the
film's
producers,
Bhushan
Kumar
and
Murad
Khetani
last
week
to
discuss
the
script
of
this
rustic
gangster
film.
Buzz
Is
That
This
Gangster
Film
Was
Earlier
Offered
To
Mahesh
Babu
"Sandeep
Vanga
was
very
keen
to
work
with
Mahesh
Babu
and
Mahesh
too
was
interested
in
working
with
Vanga.
They
met
and
Vanga
narrated
Devil
to
Mahesh
Babu
who
found
the
subject
too
dark
for
his
taste
and
for
his
audience's
taste,"
Bollywood
Hungama
had
earlier
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
Coming
back
to
Ranbir
Kapoor,
the
actor
will
kickstart
2021
with
Luv
Ranjan's
yet-to-be-titled
romantic
comedy
with
Shraddha
Kapoor
and
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga's
gangster
film.
