Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga initially envisioned Parineeti Chopra as Gitanjali, Rannvijay’s wife, in the blockbuster Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor. However, due to scheduling conflicts, Parineeti had to step away, paving the way for Rashmika Mandanna to take on the role. Following its release, Animal became a massive hit, grossing over Rs 900 crore at the box office. Rashmika’s performance earned widespread acclaim from both fans and critics. Despite missing out on the film, Parineeti holds no regrets, attributing her decision to divine intervention.
