There are swirling rumors that Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of Animal, has approached Salman Khan for a dark and intense film, and surprisingly, Salman has expressed interest. Interestingly, a few years ago, there was tension between Salman Khan and Vanga. Vanga had planned a film titled Devil and had approached Mahesh Babu for it. However, Salman Khan, known as the OG Devil for his iconic character in Kick, was not pleased. He felt that Vanga had taken the title from his memorable character.
While Salman was gearing up for Kick 2 with the same Devil character, neither Kick 2 nor Devil materialized. Salman shifted his focus to other projects, and Vanga went on to create Animal. Now, in an unexpected turn of events, Sandeep Reddy Vanga has once again approached Salman Khan to venture into his dark cinematic universe.
Salman Khan, facing challenges in Bollywood, is seeking collaborations with accomplished directors to revitalize his career. Vanga, with his talent and unique vision, could potentially unleash a different side of Salman. Vanga’s style of characterizations also aligns well with Salman Khan’s real-life persona, making him a fitting choice for Vanga’s protagonist.
However, it’s worth noting that Vanga is already juggling multiple projects, including Animal Park and a film titled Spirit with Prabhas. Additionally, he has a script ready for Devil. Salman Khan’s potential collaboration with Vanga could bring an intriguing dynamic to the table, considering their history and the creative possibilities ahead.
