Speaking about the title and his character at an earlier outing, the ‘Shamshera’ actor said, “It’s quite a shocking character and has got a lot of grey shades to it.”
“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,” Kapoor detailed.
