Mumbai/IBNS: Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna has recently opened up over a scene in Hindi film Animal, where she slapped actor Ranbir Kapoor on screen.

Speaking to Pinkvilla, Rashmika revealed she cried after the scene, where the actress as Geetanjali slaps Ranvijay (played by Ranbir) after finding out that he slept with Zoya, who has been played by Triptii Dimri.

Rashmika said, "After the sequence, I was crying for real. I have slapped him, I am screaming, the chaos is happening, and I go to Ranbir, and I am like, ‘Was that okay? Are you okay?' We finished that sequence in half a day. I loved it, and at that moment, I realised that this is the high of being an actor.

"People don’t write sequences like this every time. I am so glad that I did this movie and this sequence. I was surprised with myself."

Animal, which is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has collected huge numbers in the box office despite widespread criticism over the portrayal of violence in the film.

The film is centred on Ranbir's toxic relationship with his father played by Anil Kapoor.

The plot shows Ranbir would go to any length to protect his father, even impacting his relationship with his wife Geetanjali.
