Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal co-star confesses he ‘didn’t understand’ the film until the end; said he rejected it after first meeting with Sandeep Reddy Vanga

Saurabh Sachdeva had a brief but impactful appearance in Animal and he said that when he was first offered the part, he was very skeptical about taking it up. “I was initially very skeptical about doing the film. When I met Sandeep for the first time, I didn’t understand what was happening in the film and I was wondering that since it’s such a huge cast, I might get lost in it,” he said.

Saurabh shared that after the first meeting with Sandeep, he called his manager to speak about his doubts but was told that this would be “the biggest film of the year.” “But I was thinking that I still don’t understand the story of the film,” he shared. He met Sandeep thrice and still didn’t have a clue about the world that the director was trying to create here. “I told him that I do not understand the world of this film. He then showed me the scene of the masked men and I got even more confused. Then he showed me that scene between Triptii Dimri and Ranbir in the lawn. Then the writer of the film, he started narrating a few more scenes and I said, ‘Okay, I will do it’,” he said.

But, for all of his shooting schedule, Saurabh felt “confused.” “Honestly, throughout the film, I was really confused, till the end. And I wasn’t sure if what I was doing was right or not,” he said.

Saurabh Sachdeva was also asked about an update on Animal Park and he said, “I have no clue. I also want to know when it’s coming out. The shoot hasn’t even started. Sandeep is making Spirit, and then he will start this.” He added, “They are still writing the story. It’s a work in progress.”
