Rashmika Mandanna gives an update on Animal Park
In her first-ever interview with Pinkvilla, after Animal did big business at the box office, Rashmika Mandanna casually opened up about the second part of the action-drama movie.

Watch the full interview below:
However, she told us that he had shared some ideas that he has for Animal Park with her, which seemed mind-boggling. Talking about the Kabir Singh director, she said, "That man just functions differently. I don't know how he thinks, or what he eats or what he does. But with Animal you saw, 'Oh, this is what the audience like, this is what we like showing the audience, this is the story that we want to maintain'. Now, we have the whole universe. We can play around with whatever we want with Animal Park. So, it's exciting. And the things that he told me is, of course, it's too baby of a line. He's like, 'Man, I am going to have a blast in Animal Park,' and he is that man who enjoys making films."
Further on, the Mission Majnu actress added that Sandeep is not a man who is trying to convince or please anyone to do anything. "He's just like, 'This is the story I want to say,' and he sticks by it. He doesn't change according to what people want him to change. So, I love that. I think that man should be protected, and he has to be like that for the rest of his life," she concluded.
Rashmika Mandanna expresses gratitude for being hailed the national crush
The actress is over the moon as she enjoys the love and admiration from fans across the globe. In the same interview, the actress spoke her mind on being crowned with the national crush title. She said, "The bottom line is that this is the love and acceptance of the audience because I don't know if a lot of people get that. I am one among a very few people, and I am conscious of it. I have not been like, 'Okay, I'm getting it because I deserve it.' No, it's like there is some connection between us. There is some bond that has been created between us. I am really grateful, so today when they say the national crush, it sorts of like it has a history by itself, honestly."
Pranay Reddy Vanga made revelations about Animal Park
Pranay Reddy Vanga, who wrote the screenplay and produced Animal with others, also had an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla earlier. When asked about their plans for Animal Park, he said, "Animal Park abhi kuch nahi hai. Abhi paper pe toh kuch nahi hai (Nothing is on paper as of now). But the only advantage of Animal Park is all the characters are established. So, yeah, it won't take much time to take forward."
