Ranbir, meanwhile, is going through a terrific phase on the work front. The star scored a big hit with ‘Animal’, which hit screens last year.  The action drama became a rage among fans despite mixed reviews. The Sandeep Vanga-directed film’s cast included Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, and Tripti Dimri.

This was Vanga’s first release after ‘Kabir Singh’, a remake of ‘Arjun Reddy’.  He will be reuniting with the director for ‘Animal Park’ after the latter wraps up the Prabhas-led ‘Spirit’.
