National Crush Rashmika Mandanna wrapped up the shoot for her upcoming film Animal, which is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Tripti Dimri. For the unversed, Animal is slated to release on August 11.
The actress took to her social media to pen an emotional note on wrapping the shoot for Animal. In her note, she writes, “20/6/2023 / Dear Diary, / Today, hmm no actually last night I had a night shoot and I just wrapped up and I am back in Hyderabad and tonight I start work on Pushpa 2.”
She further added, “But first, I wanted to say a few things about how much I loved working on the sets of #Animal. Initially na… the film came so suddenly to me, was really surprising but I was extremely extremely excited for animal cz of course I wanted to work with the whole team. I think I’ve shot for about 50 days now for this film… and now that it’s over, I am starting to feel one big void.”
Her note read, “I absolutely loved working with my boys to the extent that they have and will always have a special place in my heart. The whole team are such darlings ya.. everyone who I worked with on set are so professional and yet so kind hearted and I infact kept mentioning to them that I would’ve loveeeed to work with them for 1000 more times and I’d still be so happy .”
While calling filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga “awesome,” she wrote, “he is so obsessed with his craft and character creation that – the clarity he comes with for all scenes and also the freedom he gives to artists is just absolutely amazing. “My acting or performance depends directly & entirely on the director” is something I think you now know and so tomorrow if people like what they see or me in Animal – all credits goes to whom you know.”
Later, she also spoke about her co-star Ranbir Kapoor. She wrote, “I think initially because he is #ranbirkapoor I was super nervous but my god!!! Our little secret… God has really taken his time to make him perfect ya..Brilliant actor / Amaaazing human / Everything else / Crazy no? Love it.. but what a beautiful human he is ya.. I only wish the best for him for life and woaaaaahhhhh. wait haveeeee to say this RK in Animal is.”

I got to work with Anil Kapoor sir also ..he’s also been so nice to me.. Animal team they rock ya. I love them.. I loved everyday that I shot with them. They are special to me.
Big bigger biggest hugs to all of them.. I hope I get to spend more time with the team but if I don’t.. at-least you will know how special they are to me.. every word I’ve said here I meant it. I want to tell the team – ‘Thankyou for being so awesome’…
