Ranbir Kapoor reveals why he said yes to 'Animal'

Ranbir Kapoor has revealed what drove him to sign Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal'.

Ranbir shared, “Well, to be honest, I was really drawn to the script of Animal. It’s a unique and intense story that immediately caught my attention. As for watching Arjun Reddy or Kabir Singh, I must admit that I did watch both films and found them to be incredibly powerful and impactful. However, my decision to accept Animal was not solely based on those films. It was more about the script, the character, and the opportunity to work with Sandeep Reddy Vanga.”

The actor also added that he feels the film will offer a ‘different experience altogether’. He was also asked whether his role in the film is similar to Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s previous protagonists Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh (2019) and Vijay Deverakonda in the Telugu original Arjun Reddy (2017) – Ranbir said that he was playing a 'tough and uncompromising' role.

"Yes, my character in Animal does possess some of the traits typically associated with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s protagonists. He is indeed tough and uncompromising in certain aspects. However, what sets him apart is the layers of complexity and depth that have been woven into his character. While he may exhibit strength and determination, there are also moments of vulnerability and internal conflict that make him more relatable and human...”

He added that ‘there are also distinct differences that make him stand out in his own right.’

‘Animal’ is slated to release on December 1 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
