Sandeep Reddy Vanga on casting Bobby Deol in Animal

Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga recently got into a chat with Connect FM Canada where he opened up about Bobby Deol’s role. Speaking in the interview, the director said, “Right from the beginning I had this thing in mind that the hero and the villain would remove their shirts and fight on the runway. So, when I imagined that, I wanted someone macho who is broader than Ranbir and more powerful than him. I could not think of anyone but Bobby sir.”

Sandeep Reddy also shared that he did not want a routine entry of Bobby Deol in Animal. Speaking of which, he said, “Everybody knew from the teaser and trailer that Bobby Deol is the villain and I knew they were going to wait for him. So, from the beginning, right after 15 minutes into the film, you know there is a tension about the villain but we do not see his face.”
