During the promotional rounds for Animal, a light-hearted moment went viral when Ranbir Kapoor playfully teased co-star Rashmika Mandanna by urging her to call Vijay Deverakonda live on stage. In the clip from the event, Rashmika dialled Vijay’s number as Ranbir and host Nandamuri Balakrishna looked on, and when Vijay answered with a casual “What’s up, re?” Rashmika couldn’t hide her blush, visibly flustered by the interaction. The candid exchange had the audience laughing and quickly made rounds online.

The moment became one of the standout highlights of the Animal promotions, partly because fans had long speculated about Rashmika and Vijay’s off-screen closeness. Although the call was made in a fun context during a segment on Unstoppable with NBK, the smile-inducing exchange — with Rashmika waving the phone and reminding Vijay he was on loudspeaker — fuelled more chatter among fans and followers on social media.
