“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,” a source was quoted saying.
Interestingly, Animal, which will also star Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in key roles, will mark Ranbir and Rashmika’s first collaboration on the big screen and the announcement has certainly got the fans excited.
It is reported that the crime drama will be going on floors in summers this year and will be hitting the screens on August 11 next year.
Apart from Animal and Brahmastra, Ranbir is also working on Luv Ranjan’s yet to be titled romantic comedy with Shraddha Kapoor.
Besides, he will also be seen in Yash Raj Films’ upcoming production Shamshera with Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in the lead. Helmed by Karan Malhotra, Shamshera is slated to release o July 22 this year.
