As the much-anticipated release of the film ‘Animal’ approaches on December 1, actors Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, along with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, took to Nandamuri Balakrishna’s talk show, ‘Unstoppable with NBK,’ to share insights and engage in playful banter.
In the lively episode, the trio found themselves in a teasing exchange, prompting Rashmika to humorously choose between Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘Arjun Reddy’ and Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal.’ She playfully highlighted the significance of both films, with ‘Animal’ being her own project and ‘Arjun Reddy’ being the first film she watched upon moving to Hyderabad. The audience erupted in laughter as Rashmika blushed while making her choice.
Amid the banter, Ranbir Kapoor dropped an interesting tidbit, revealing that Sandeep Reddy Vanga first met Rashmika Mandanna at the success party of ‘Arjun Reddy,’ hosted on Vijay Deverakonda’s terrace. Rashmika’s reaction added an extra layer of excitement to the show, with playful accusations directed at Ranbir for divulging “unnecessary details.”
