A lean, mean killing machine just wouldn’t cut it. For an action set-piece of Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga wanted an imposing killing machine—one, that he believed, had to reflect the protagonist’s invincibility. With that brief, production designer Suresh Selvarajan began work on the elaborate machine gun, putting pen to paper and creating a few sketches.
“Sandeep told me that Ranbir plays the son of the richest guy and a pilot too. He said that the war machine should reflect the lead actor’s persona, build, anger and capability. So, it cannot be small. His brief was that when the machine turned, nobody should live,” recalls Selvarajan. He envisioned a 500-kilo, three-wheeled device with three Gatling machine guns retrofitted on it and heavy projectile magazines wrapped around it.
