After
making
his
directorial
debut
in
Hindi
film
industry
with
Shahid
Kapoor's
blockbuster
Kabir
Singh,
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga's
next
movie
titled
Animal
has
also
caught
everyone's
attention.
The
film
features
Ranbir
Kapoor
as
the
main
protagonist.
If
the
latest
buzz
is
to
be
believed,
Pushpa
star
Rashmika
Mandanna
has
joined
the
cast
of
this
film
after
Parineeti
Chopra
reportedly
bowed
out
of
the
film
for
Imtiaz
Ali's
upcoming
flick
Chamkila.
As
per
a
report
in
Pinkvilla,
Rashmika
has
been
signed
to
play
the
female
lead
in
Animal.
The
news
portal
quoted
a
source
revealing
that
Bhushan
Kumar
and
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga
finalized
Rashmika
for
Animal
as
they
felt
she
fits
the
bill
to
the
T.
Reportedly,
she
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
Ranbir's
wife
in
the
movie.
"Bhushan
Kumar
and
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga
felt
that
Rashmika
fits
the
bill
to
the
T.
They
wanted
a
fresh
cast,
rather
than
repeating
the
pairing
of
RK
with
another
actress.
The
duo
feels
that
both
RK
and
Rashmika
will
set
the
screen
on
fire
with
their
chemistry
in
Animal.
The
two
share
an
interesting
dynamic
in
the
film," Pinkvilla
quoted
as
saying.
As
per
reports,
this
much
awaited
flick
will
hit
the
shooting
floors
in
summer
this
year
after
Ranbir
wraps
up
the
shooting
of
Luv
Ranjan's
untitled
flick
opposite
Shraddha
Kapoor.
Set
against
the
backdrop
of
gun
mafia
in
India,
Animal
also
stars
Bobby
Deol
and
Anil
Kapoor
in
pivotal
roles.
Speaking
about
Rashmika
Mandanna,
the
South
beauty
is
all
set
to
make
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Sidharth
Malhotra's
Mission
Majnu.
Besides
this,
she
also
has
Amitabh
Bachchan-starrer
Goodbye.
