Although violence is a territory familiar to Ranbir Kapoor, exemplified by his wielding of a firearm in the 2015 film 'Bombay Velvet' and his portrayal of a father-son duo engaging in axe-wielding and epic battles in the 2022 movie 'Shamshera,' it's 'Animal,' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and set to release on December 1, that promises to redefine his on-screen persona. Vanga, renowned for his unflinching portrayal of fury and wrath, has left no stone unturned in 'Animal,' where Ranbir embodies a character willing to go to extraordinary lengths to safeguard his family and their most concealed secrets. The blood-drenched glimpses and initial glimpses shared earlier suggest that this film will not shy away from delivering on its promise of being what industry insiders are dubbing 'the most violent film in recent memory.'
In 'Animal,' Ranbir Kapoor is poised to present himself in a hitherto uncharted avatar. His physical transformation is not the sole aspect of his preparation; he has also delved deep into portraying a character who embodies unapologetic toughness. Both Ranbir and Bobby Deol's character posters are adorned with splatters of blood, offering a glimpse into the gritty and intense world of the film. Sources indicate that the film's climax is nothing short of an explosion of chaos, with Vanga pushing the boundaries of depicting violence, possibly drawing comparisons to the renowned Quentin Tarantino, known for his penchant for glorifying violence.
After venturing into the realms of fantasy and light-hearted romantic comedies with 'Brahmastra' and 'Tu Jhooti Main Makkar,' Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up to tackle a character that, on paper, appears to be incredibly challenging. Inside sources suggest that Vanga has pulled out all the stops, and audiences are in for a major surprise when it comes to Ranbir Kapoor's character.
As the anticipation mounts, the new teaser for 'Animal' is set to be unveiled on September 28, with the film itself hitting theaters on December 1.
