Manjot Singh spills beans on declining offer in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal
While speaking to India Today, Manjot Singh spilled the beans on being approached for a role for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. The actor shared that he was offered the role of one of the cousins of Ranbir Kapoor from Punjab, as he recalled his meeting with the director.
The actor stated that he was briefed by the director about his character, where Ranbir meets his cousins after visiting his pind (village) in Punjab. The name of the character in the film was also Manjot. “Uss time par (At that point in time) I did not have much idea about the character. All I was told then that his name is same as mine,” he stated.
The actor further continues by sharing that while the character was well-written and the character had a good graph, he talked about his filmography and how he is a great fan of the director’s work.
“I had watched ‘Kabir Singh’ thrice and asked him whether I should do ‘Animal’ or not. I was ready to do the movie just for the sake of my respect for Sandeep sir. But, he told me ‘role itna amazing nahi hai (the role is not that amazing) that people will remember. So it’s okay, we shall collaborate again in the future,” he was quoted as saying.
