Ahead of the much-anticipated release of Animalin cinemas this Friday, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has been actively engaged in the film’s promotional activities. During interviews, he has been addressing various misconceptions surrounding the film that arose following the trailer’s release nearly a week ago. In one such interview, he addressed the viral scene featuring Rashmika Mandanna, where she is seen speaking to Ranbir Kapoor with clenched teeth.
Post the trailer’s launch, social media buzzed with memes, with some expressing difficulty in comprehending Rashmika’s dialogue. Explaining the scene, Sandeep told Indiatoday.in, “She was supposed to speak in a particular way because it’s a very emotional scene. I knew there would be a certain reaction to it. When someone is feeling a certain emotion, then they speak with their teeth clenched. I think keeping it in the trailer has only given it multiple views. When you see it as part of the larger scene in the movie, it will make more sense.”
