Ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli recently asked director Sandeep Reddy Vanga if Ranbir Kapoor’s character from Animal is violent and has slices of Arjun Reddy or Kabir Singh in it. Sandeep replied saying, “There's nothing similar between Ranbir's character in Animal and Kabir Singh.”
Rajamouli further asked Sandeep, “Since you have named the film Animal, it gives a sense that Ranbir's character would be violent. The audience is thinking like this, including me.” And Sandeep answered, “There's violence, but the characters are not the same. I used to ask my ADs if there are shades of Kabir Singh or Arjun Reddy in Animal. But no, the plot and characters are different. The only common thread between both films is that they are character-driven stories.”
