Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s words for his film Animal
Reddy once narrated scripts to Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Allu Arjun and others. Out of those, two of the projects have been officially announced. But the rumours were there that Animal was first offered to Mahesh Babu, to which Sandeep speaks up and says, “The script I narrated to Mahesh is called Devil. He liked it but our schedules didn’t align. It’s similar only in terms of violence but it’s not the same film.”
