In a new interview with an Indian newspaper, Sandeep Reddy Vanga revealed that he got a long call from Ranveer Singh after the latter watched his film \u2018Animal\u2019<\/em>, starring Ranbir Kapoor.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI got the most overwhelming response from Ranveer Singh.\u00a0Main khud soch mein padh gaya aisa response mila tha<\/em>\u00a0Ranveer Singh\u00a0se\u00a0<\/em>(I was in disbelief at the response from him).\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanga disclosed, \u201cHe spoke to me for almost 40 minutes on the phone, and he sent such a lengthy message that I had read three-four times. I can\u2019t explain how I felt after reading his message.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBahut maza aaya message padhke<\/em> (I enjoyed his message). He wrote a lot of things about Animal<\/em> that made me realise these things are also there in the film,\u201d added the filmmaker.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning here that Singh was originally offered \u2018Kabir Singh\u2019<\/em> (2019) by Vanga, but he turned down the romance drama for being \u2018too dark\u2019, and it eventually landed with his \u2018Padmaavat\u2019<\/em> co-star Shahid Kapoor.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Kapoor-led neo-noir action thriller of Vanga\u00a0<\/em>was one of the highest-grossing films of 2023. After\u00a0scoring a bumper opening upon its release in December last year, followed up with several Box Office feats, \u2018Animal\u2019<\/em> concluded its theatrical run at INR918 crores last month.<\/p>\n

Despite the major commercial success, the title drew polarizing reactions from critics, with many calling it misogynistic, like previous outings of Vanga, including\u00a0\u2018Arjun Reddy\u2019 <\/em>and \u2018Kabir Singh\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n
