Devil, Animal, Spirit….Arjun Reddy Director’s Dark Game Plans   

What’s with Sandeep(Arjun Reddy) Vanga  and these dark eerie  movie titles? Animal which  stars  Ranbir Kapoor, Anil  Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra  and  Bobby Deol, was originally titled Devil, and was  offered to  some top names  in  the  Telugu film industry, all of whom found it too dark.

Ranbir who loves exploring the  dark zone  loved the script. Just why the  film’s title was  changed to Animal  is  best known to the  director and his leading man. However  multiple sources reveal that it this would be the darkest most violent  film that Ranbir has done to date.

Now comes another announcement  from Vanga’s  vicinity. After he  completes Animal with Ranbir Kapoor  Vanga will plunge into  a film titled Spirit with Prabhas  . This  would be Prabhas’ 25^th film and  therefore very special.

Apparently Spirit  is a supernatural  thriller  on the  lines  of Manoj Night Shyamalan’s cinema.

Significantly all of Vanga’s films  so far—Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, Animal, Spirit—station themselves in  the dark zone  .  One hopes  to see Vanga make  something light-hearted  in the future.
