Sandeep Reddy Vanga Didn't Like Ranbir's Animal Look, Nearly Dropped It
Last Updated: Ranbir Kapoor's Animal look almost didn't happen. Aalim Hakim reveals how he convinced Sandeep Reddy Vanga despite concerns it resembled Sanju too much. Ranbir Kapoor's look in Animal—with flowing hair and a rugged beard—has become one of the most talked-about transformations in recent Bollywood memory. But according to celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim, the now-iconic look wasn't a sure-shot decision at the start. Speaking to Galatta India, Aalim shared that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga had doubts early on about the long-haired look. The concern? It reminded him too much of Ranbir's appearance in Sanju, the biopic on Sanjay Dutt. 'Had Ranbir's hair and beard not been long in Animal, I don't think his character would have the same impact. It took time to develop his character's look," Aalim said. He added, 'Vanga sir initially said the long hair isn't working, he's looking like Sanju. How he looked in the Sanjay Dutt biopic. I had to convince him that he won't look like that once his whole look is put together." About Animal Film Animal is a 2023 Bollywood action-drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Ranvijay, a troubled man with a difficult past and a strained relationship with his father. Known for its emotional story, intense action scenes, and Ranbir's powerful performance, Animal was a big hit at the box office. The movie also features Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol in key roles. After delivering back-to-back films in 2023—Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Animal—Ranbir Kapoor is now filming Love & War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Ramayana, helmed by Nitesh Tiwari. Sandeep Reddy Vanga And Deepika Padukone Spirit Controversy Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is preparing for his next big project, Spirit, a cop drama starring Prabhas. The film is expected to begin production this year. Initially, Deepika Padukone was cast as the female lead, but she stepped away due to concerns over fees and work schedules. Sandeep Reddy Vanga later, seemingly slammed her. The filmmaker took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle and dropped a cryptic post. Even though Vanga did not name Deepika Padukone, he accused her of playing 'dirty PR games' and revealing some parts of his film's story. Following Deepika's exit, Triptii Dimri was confirmed to play a part in the film. First Published:
