Ranbir Kapoor haults at Pataudi Palace for the shooting of her next with Rashmika Mandanna

A photo from Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming film Animal has been leaked online. While the image does not include the Dear Comrade star, it does show Ranbir and Anil Kapoor filming at the Pataudi Palace. Yes, you read that correctly: Sharmila Tagore-Saif Ali Khan’s beautiful family home is once again being used as a filming location, this time for Kareena Kapoor Khan’s cousin.

Ranbir Kapoor is dressed in a black-on-black ensemble and is clean-shaven. In one hand, the actor holds a bowl, and in the other, a snack. Anil stood to his right, twinning with Ranbir in black. Anam Khan, a makeup artist, shared the photo.

The Pataudi Palace appears to be team Animal’s temporary residence. For the uninitiated, the royal property on the outskirts of New Delhi has frequently served as a film and television series shooting location. Veer Zaara, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, and Tandav, starring Saif Ali Khan, are among them.

The animal is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh fame. Earlier this summer, a portion of the film was shot in Himachal Pradesh. Ranbir began filming the film shortly after he and Alia Bhatt married in April. At the time, images of the actors from the set in the mountains had leaked.

Rashmika’s third Bollywood film is Animal. Previously, Parineeti Chopra was set to play the lead. However, the actress had to withdraw, which is when Rashmika was offered the role.

Ranbir’s first collaboration with Rashmika and Vanga will be Animal. Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishan Kumar, and Murad Khetani are the producers of Animal. Ranbir was most recently seen in Shamshera, and Brahmastra Part One is set to be released soon.
