Meanwhile, Director Sandeep Vanga Reddy opened up about Rashmika Mandanna not being nominated for the Filmfare in a conversation with Siddharth Kannan.
He praised Rashmika for her performance in Animal and he stated that he was surprised that she was nominated in the actress category.
“It is not an easy performance, what I believed. She was giggling, laughing. She is going mad. She is going crazy. That was not easy. It is an 11-minute scene. She was holding the scene,” Reddy was quoted saying.
