EXCLUSIVE! Animal Was Originally Called Devil, Was Offered To Mahesh Babu

As Ranbir Kapoor prepares to unleash an unprecedented feast of fury on screen in Sandeep Vanga Reddy’s Animal we can tell you with full certainty that this role was first offered to Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. The project was called Devil back then in 2019.
The Arjun Reddy/ Kabir Singh director Sandeep Vanga then took the project to Mumbai and Filmistan where Ranbir Kapoor said an immediate yes. This time it is a Hindi film for Vanga who was flooded with offers fom Bollywood and Telugu cinema after the twin super-successes of the Telugu film Arjun Reddy and its Hindi remake Kabir Singh.

Interestingly, Devil is the same film and character that Vanga offered to Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Says a source close to the development, “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.”
Mahesh Babu apparently asked Vanga to come up with another bright(er) idea. But Sandeep preferred to take Devil to Ranbir instead. Whether Mahesh Babu lost a blockbuster or not, we shall soon know.
