Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal recently made headlines after the makers shared the first look of the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial. Fans are going gaga over the first look of Ranbir in a bloodied shirt, smoking a cigarette and carrying an axe under his arm. Wife and actor Alia Bhatt also reacted to the poster with fire emojis.
It was in July 2022 when Ranbir shared in an interview that his character in Animal is “shocking” and said the movie is “way out of my comfort zone”.
Ranbir Kapoor told Pinkvilla that he is “looking forward to do negative roles and is waiting for the right opportunities”. He said, “In-fact, I am doing Sandeep Vanga’s Animal. It’s quite a shocking character and has got a lot of grey shades to it.”
The actor added, “I am looking forward to Animal because that’s a script that’s way out of my comfort zone. I am scared, but at the same time very excited.”
