Ranbir Kapoor was against ‘superstar’ prefix on Animal poster, says Sandeep Reddy Vanga: “I wanted to put that on the audio teaser only, but he said, ‘Please don’t do that’” : Bollywood News

Actors Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna's upcoming film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is only a day away from hitting the theatres in India and abroad. The anticipation is at an all-time high. When the first poster dropped, the 'superstar' prefix was used with Ranbir Kapoor’s name. But, the actor was totally against it.

Ranbir Kapoor was against ‘superstar’ prefix on Animal poster, says Sandeep Reddy Vanga: “I wanted to put that on the audio teaser only, but he said, ‘Please don’t do that’”

Speaking about the same, Sandeep Reddy Vanga explained it to Pinkvilla in an interview, “Ranbir never wanted that; very clearly he never wanted that. I wanted to put that on the audio teaser only, but he said, ‘Please don't do that, I don't want that.’ But for the poster, I convinced him because I said, ‘Forget about what you're feeling; it's my feeling. I feel you're a superstar, I feel putting ‘superstar’ on the poster.’ I remember watching Rockstar matinee. I wanted to watch it for another immediate show, but tickets weren't available, so I went for a second show. That pulling and calling only happens with the stars, right? That was in 2011, I think.”

During the same chat, producer Bhushan Kumar said that Ranbir Kapoor did all the stunts by himself. “Ranbir did everything himself,” Bhushan said as Vanga added, “I thought we might require a body double.”
