EXCLUSIVE: Ranbir Kapoor didn't want Superstar tag in Animal; Sandeep Reddy Vanga reveals how he convinced RK
In a Pinkvilla exclusive, Sandeep Reddy Vanga shares his rationale for adding a 'superstar' before Ranbir Kapoor's name on the Animal posters and discusses RK's reactions to this choice.
The much-awaited and widely talked-about film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is gearing up for its much-anticipated debut. As the release date approaches, the Animal team is immersed in consecutive events, interviews, and more. Following the trailer release, there was a music launch event in Mumbai, succeeded by a pre-release event in Hyderabad.
Recently, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and producer Bhushan Kumar engaged in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla. During the discussion, the director shed light on using the superstar prefix before Ranbir Kapoor's name in the film's poster.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga reveals the reason for labeling Ranbir Kapoor as a superstar on the Animal poster
In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, the topic of using the term superstar before Ranbir Kapoor's name, the lead actor in Animal, was brought up. While this is a common practice in the South film industry, it marks a first in Bollywood.
In response, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga explained, "Ranbir never wanted that; very clearly he never wanted that. I wanted to put that on the audio teaser only, but he said, 'Please don't do that, I don't want that.' But for the poster, I convinced him because I said, 'Forget about what you're feeling; it's my feeling. I feel you're a superstar, I feel putting 'superstar' on the poster.' I remember watching Rockstar matinee. I wanted to watch it for another immediate show, but tickets weren't available, so I went for a second show. That pulling and calling only happens with the stars, right? That was in 2011, I think."
