Animal: Triptii Dimri Calls Film's Success 'Unexpected', Says 'I Thank My Stars Every Night, Got Lucky'

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal was released in theatres in December last year and Triptii Dimri emerged as the film’s breakout star. The actress was seen in a small role but has left a mark on her fans’ minds. She was declared the “National crush” by fans, and they cannot stop gushing over her performance. Even her social media following skyrocketed after the film’s release. The actress recently opened up about how the success felt to her.

She told ANI, “I have got a very overwhelming response for ‘Animal’. I thank my stars every night before I go to sleep for whatever has happened because I feel that I got lucky. I feel that it is a very special moment in my life. It feels good when you work and your audiences connect with you. This is what you work for and this is what you want from the audience when the film comes out.”

“I think it is a very satisfying feeling and I am very happy and grateful. I knew that the film was going to be a huge success but I didn’t know that people would connect to my character so much the way they have connected, so it was unexpected but beautiful,” she added.

After the success of Animal, it is being said that the actress will be seen opposite Kartik Aaryan in Aashiqui 3. Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying, “Triptii has been the talk of the town following the historic success of Animal, and the makers feel that she would set the screen on fire with Kartik Aaryan. The conversations have been on for quite some time, and the makers have now locked her as the female lead.”

The Anurag Basu directorial will go on floors in the first quarter of 2024, and the other cast members will be locked soon. However, there is no confirmation on Triptii’s casting yet.
