Yes, Animal is nothing but a rehash of the popular movie Godfather. Godfather also shows the son fighting to protect and save Godfather who is his father.
In the process, the son becomes the Godfather. Sandeep took the same theme and rehashed it to Animal in his own way.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga the Arjun Reddy director revealed that the film he planned with Mahesh Babu called Devil was more violent than his coming film, Animal, with Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role.
Many rumors were going on that Mahesh Babu had rejected the script, and the script was for the film Animal, but the director has officially cleared the matter now.
Though this may not be true as of now, many fans are still hoping that Mahesh Babu will one day team up with the Arjun Reddy director for a film.
Vanga is gearing up for the release of his next film, Animal with Ranbir Kapoor headlining it. The film, also written and edited by him, features the story of a toxic father-son relationship that turns the latter into a dreaded gangster who will go to any lengths to protect his father.
