Despite a considerably small role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal,’ the internet is gushing over Triptii Dimri. The actress recently reacted to being dubbed “national crush” by the internet, saying she is feeling so many things that she cannot even describe in words. She said, “I have had sleepless nights post the film due to the excitement.”
Triptii said, “It was an instant yes when I heard the back story of the film. Sandeep Reddy Vanga sir, I was told by an assistant during an ad shoot, wanted to cast me in this film. I said yes, but then nothing happened for a year. Then he called me and we spoke about life. He said ‘Triptii, I am not going to send you this character by saying it’s the lead. All I want to say is it’s a negative character but I don’t want you to play it like that. When the audiences see on screen, they should never feel you have a motive’ That was it for me.”
After receiving much acclaim from films such as ‘Qala,’ and ‘Bulbbul,’ she appears to have found her breakthrough into mainstream cinema with the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer. Triptii said, “I think there will be a shift in my career now. I always wanted films like ‘Qala’ to reach out to a lot of people. It did earlier too, but now so many people are messaging me saying ‘we watched your films’, it’s such a special feeling. I always wished for people to watch them.”
She added, “More than me, my family has been excited. Every time it goes up even a little, they send it to me.”
On the work front, reports suggest she is drowning in film offers and is set to work with Prabhas on an upcoming project.
