Nagarjuna Reveals Ranbir Kapoor's Obsession with 'Animal' During 'Brahmastra' Shoot
A famous actor named Nagarjuna said that another actor, Ranbir Kapoor, was super excited about a different movie called 'Animal' while they were filming 'Brahmastra' together.
Ranbir kept showing Nagarjuna scenes from an older movie by the same director, 'Arjun Reddy,' because he really liked how real they looked.
