The actor appreciated Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and penned down, “The whole team are such darlings ya.. everyone who I worked with on set are so professional and yet so kind-hearted and I in-fact kept mentioning to them that I would’ve loveeeed to work with them for 1000 more times and I’d still be so happy. & So 1st @sandeepreddyvanga is awesome- everyone knows that, he is so obsessed with his craft and character creation that- the clarity he comes with for all the scenes and also the freedom he gives to artists is just absolutely amazing.”
Rashmika praised her Animal co-star Ranbir Kapoor and admitted that she had been “super nervous” to work with the Brahmastra actor. “My acting or performance depends directly & entirely on the director is something I think you now know and so tomorrow, if people like what they see of me in Animal – all credits goes to whom you know…Rkaaaaaay. I think initially because he is #ranbirkapoor I was super nervous but my god!! – Our little secret.. god has really taken his time to make him perfect ya.. 2 Brilliant actor – Amaaaaazing human,” the actor wrapped up.
