Ranbir Kapoor's transformation into a tough man in Sandeep Vanga's film has gotten a lot of praise. But it's interesting to know that Ranbir wasn't the first choice for the lead part in ‘Animal’. At first, Sandeep Vanga tried to get South Indian celebrity Mahesh Babu to be in the movie, but he turned it down because of how dark and rough it was.

But Mahesh Babu politely turned down the part, saying that it was too dark for him and that he was worried about how his fans would react to him playing a character with so many different moral choices. Mahesh Babu chose not to take the part because he knew that most of his fans associated him with more positive roles.
