The very first poster features the Bollywood A-lister in a never-seen-before intense avatar as he appeared in a blood-soaked white shirt, and held a bloody axe in his arms while smoking a cigarette and giving a death stare to someone.
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.
The upcoming film is the first collaboration of Kapoor with South Indian starlet Rashmika Mandanna and acclaimed filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
As per the reports, the film has been shot majorly in Himachal Pradesh and in Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Pataudi Palace’.

‘Animal’ is directed by Vanga (of ‘Kabir Singh’ fame) who has also written the screenplay with Saurabh Gupta and Siddharth Singh. Apart from Kapoor and Mandanna, the film features Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles.
The crime actioner will release theatrically on August 11, 2023.
To note, Ranbir Kapoor was last seen in the action-adventure flick ‘Brahmastra Part One: Shiva’ opposite his better half Alia Bhatt, earlier this year. The title was one of the highest-grossing films of 2022.
Apart from ‘Animal’, Kapoor also has Luv Ranjan’s ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ opposite Shraddha Kapoor in the 2023 slate, which is said to be his last rom-com flick.
