Rashmika will share screen space with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time in Animal. Their on-screen chemistry has been creating a buzz on social media. The couple have also been grabbing the limelight off-screen. Recently Rashmika and Ranbir went to the talk show Unstoppable With NBK for promoting their film. In the clip shared on X, Nandamuri Balakrishna can be seen asking Rashmika to call Vijay Deverakonda. As she gets her phone out to do so, she can be seen smiling and telling Ranbir Kapoor, "I'll change the contact." To this, Ranbir Kapoor knowingly says, "Ya, I think you should," and the two giggle. Ranbir Kapoor can also be seen pointing at something in Rashmika Mandanna's phone, making her blush. Take a look at the video here:

Directed by Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Triptii Dimri in pivotal roles. The teaser gives us a glimpse of an abusive father-son relationship (played by Anil Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor respectively) that only becomes darker and murkier in the course of the film. The film will release in theatres on December 1.
