In a recent interview, Rashmika Mandanna opened up about working with Ranbir Kapoor in their upcoming film Animal. The actress revealed her co-star calls her ma’am.
Rashmika Mandanna has steadily gone on to become a mass favourite. After ending 2021 with blockbuster Pushpa, the actress is soon to make her Bollywood debut with Mission Majnu. She will also be seen opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Animal. The actress recently opened up about her experience of working with the actor and said he is loving and it’s extremely easy to work with him.
Back in April, Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna jetted off to Manali to shoot for their upcoming film, Animal. A directorial venture of Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film also stars Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor. During a recent interview with Filmfare, Rashmika shared how it was working with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time. She lauded the actor but also said she doesn’t like him calling her ‘ma’am.’
"He’s extremely loving. I was, of course, nervous when I met him first, but I think he’s so easygoing that five minutes into the look test, we were already very comfortable with each other. Thinking about it, it’s amazing how easy it’s been so far with Ranbir and Sandeep. And he’s the only one in the whole industry who calls me "ma’am," and I do not like it. I will get him for this one,” said Rashmika.
Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol’s Animal is a crime drama. Initially, Parineeti Chopra was supposed to play the female lead in the film but opted out of it for Imtiaz Ali’s Chamkila.
About choosing to star in Animal, Ranbir Kapoor said in an interview, “During the pandemic, we all got some time to introspect and choose films that are close to our hearts. So when Sandeep narrated the story, I grew close to the character and was immediately keen on doing the role. I’m a huge admirer of both of his movies and really looking forward to our creative collaboration. Bhushan Sir is one of the producers who is backing strong, entertaining cinema and his immense knowledge of music will be seen in Animal. I am so grateful to work with such a great ensemble cast. I can’t wait to start shoot for Animal.”
The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar & Krishan Kumar's T-Series, Murad Khetani's Cine1 Studios and Pranay Reddy Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures.
