‘I am a big fan’: Says Sandeep Reddy Vanga to Shah Rukh Khan
Addressing the run-time of Animal, the duo promised a gripping theatrical experience with multiple high points through the narrative. Earlier in September, Sandeep Reddy Vanga was spotted with Shah Rukh Khan at the T Series Office in Mumbai. Interestingly, Vanga is a self-confessed Shah Rukh Khan fan. When asked about the meeting, the director said, “Yes, I did meet Shah Rukh Khan recently. I didn’t discuss at length, but I told sir, ‘I am a big fan’.” What kind of film does he wish to make with SRK?
“I don’t know what kind of film I would make, but I definitely wish to make a film with Shah Rukh Khan,” he keeps it short. In an interesting turn of event, after helming intense films like Kabir Singh and Animal, Sandeep hopes to direct a comedy film one day. “I have a comedy script but I don’t know when I will do it. There is a thought, it’s not a family comedy but again, I can’t tell you the exact subject.”
It would be great to see Sandeep direct a comedy, says Bhushan Kumar
Bhushan Kumar believes that it would be great to see Sandeep direct a comedy. He agrees to Sandeep’s response and says, “It will be a very different take on humour, like he does with every film. Even in Animal, every scene is a new scene. It will be great to see Sandeep direct a comedy.”
