Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is riding high on the massive success of Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor, has expressed his desire to work with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Vanga had met Khan during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in 2023 when Animal’s first teaser was about to be released.
Recalling his first meeting with SRK, Vanga told Siddharth Kannan that he told him, “It was great seeing you, sir. Pehli baar dekh raha hoon. Parde pe dekha tha. Live pehli baar dekh raha hoon. Yehi bolunga na? Yehi bola tha (“It was great seeing you sir. I am seeing [you] for the first time. I had seen [you] on the screen. I am seeing [you] live for the first time. This is what I will say, no? This is what [I] said.”).
He went on to add, “I want to work with Shah Rukh sir. Definitely. Chance mil gaya toh.”
In a previous interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Sandeep said, “I want to work with Shah Rukh Khan sir. Every hero ke liye kuch na kuch idea rahega. In Hindi, I definitely want to work with Shah Rukh sir, Ranveer Singh.”
Sandeep said, “We did not speak about it (Sandeep’s films). He [SRK] saw the [Animal] teaser, he liked the teaser. I showed him the teaser in the office, he had come during Ganpati.”
Meanwhile, Sandeep Reddy Vanga has an array of films line-up – Spirit with Prabhas, a project with Allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu. ALSO READ: Sandeep Reddy Vanga upset about Javed Akhtar’s criticism against Animal; says he should watch Farhan Akhtar’s Mirzapur: “You feel like puking”
