‘Animal’ event: Ranbir Kapoor pays respects to SS Rajamouli; Anil Kapoor joins Mahesh Babu in a dance

Ahead of the 'Animal' release, SS Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu, Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Bhushan Kumar, and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga united for a dazzling promotional event in Hyderabad.

At the event, Ranbir respectfully greeted Rajamouli, touching his feet as the director moved from the stage towards the seating area.

Onstage, Anil Kapoor shared how Bobby Deol teasingly calls him 'besharam' for his ever-ready dance spirit, even at midnight. Anil then playfully invited Mahesh Babu to groove to one of his hit tracks and encouraged Ranbir to join in the dance fun.

When Ranbir initially gestured a polite no, Anil Kapoor jokingly said, ‘You can’t say no to me; I am your senior!’

Later, Anil Kapoor, Ranbir, and Bobby Deol spontaneously danced to one of Mahesh Babu's hit songs. While Mahesh didn't join the dance, he shared a warm hug with Anil Kapoor.

Bobby said to Mahesh Babu, ‘Years back, I was shooting in your studio and your dad called me for your mahurat. And look at you now, man!’

Anil asked for SS Rajamouli’s good wishes for the film and said, ‘You made us proud, sir. You’ve motivated the entire film industry to work harder and be passionate. You have reignited the fire in all of us. We need people like you. We need your blessings for this film and I hope when you see the film, you are happy with the effort the entire team has put in.’
