When Rashmika Mandanna defended her 'beautiful' character in Animal

It is worth mentioning that earlier this year in February during a chat with the Times Now, the actress had expressed her happiness about the film doing good business at the box office. She went on to back her character Geetanjali in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial and opined it was truly strong as she stood up for a man whom the whole country thought of as an alpha male.

The actress had exclaimed according to her, she is indeed a very strong woman who can go to any length to protect her family and does everything to protect it. She had mentioned, “My character in the film was written that way. I am an actor bringing the director’s imagination alive. So, everything that we actors do on set or everything we do in the film is actually what the director’s imagination is, right? So, you do as they say. If it’s any little expression or reaction that the director doesn’t like, he does another take. It’s teamwork.”

I wanted to do it wholeheartedly,” Rashmika had said further adding that she did her best in bringing the director’s imagination alive. “I think as an actor, I have done my bit,” she had said on a concluding note.
