Did Mahesh Babu almost make his Bollywood debut with the now Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal’?

Mumbai (Maharashtra): Mahesh Babu is making headlines and this time it is not for his blockbuster films but for his controversial statements during the ‘Major’ press conference. The actor had stated that Bollywood cannot afford him for his debut and that he would never leave his industry to work in another. But now it has been revealed that the actor almost made his Bollywood debut with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’.

Mahesh Babu was among the first to appreciate Vanga’s directorial debut ‘Arjun Reddy’ which came out in 2017. After this, he openly expressed his desire to work with the filmmaker. Hence, both of them sat down together to discuss two scripts that the filmmaker was working on. One of them was the now Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, ‘Animal’.  However, Mahesh had to reject both of the scripts as he deemed them too dark for his image.

Although the deal did not work out between the two, they are eagerly waiting for an opportunity. Mahesh even gladly accepted to star in an advertisement film when he got to know that Sandeep Reddy Vanga was going to direct it.

‘Animal’ is Reddy’s third directorial and his second Bollywood movie. It stars Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor and South sensation Rashmika Mandana in the lead roles. Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Bipin Karki are also an integral part of the film. The film is a gangster drama that explores the turbulent relationships between all the characters that eventually lead to the protagonist becoming an 'animal' in nature. It is expected to release on August 11, 2023.
