Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's filmmaking style gained attention after the success of his latest movie, Animal. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, has become a blockbuster. Surprisingly, the cast admitted they were unaware of the film's story until its premiere. Bobby Deol even felt anxious because Vanga took a long time to call him for the shoot, despite casting him in the role of Abrar Haque.

During a recent interaction with Siddharth Kannan, actor Manjot Singh, who portrayed the role of Ranbir Kapoor's overly devoted cousin in Animal, explained how even the main cast of the film had no idea about what was going on with the storyline. He mentioned that Anil Kapoor once shared an incident on set. He said, “Once, Anil (Kapoor) sir came on the set and told us that he met Bobby (Deol) sir in London, who asked him, ‘Who is this director? Why is he not starting the shoot with me? He has not even sent me the script yet. At least, he should send me the script'.”
