Speaking of `Animal`, Parineeti Chopra’s loss has proved to be Rashmika Mandanna’s gain. Considering that there was an overlap of dates between Imtiaz Ali’s biopic on Amar Singh Chamkila and Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, Pari chose to bow out of the latter. Now, after her exit, the makers have got the current south sensation, Rashmika on board. With this, they have not only managed a casting coup of sorts but also got a fresh pairing that is sure to pique audiences’ interest.
