There is a helluva reason to look forward to Animal. For starters, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor, who truly is a master at becoming one with the character he portrays. The pre-teaser of the film gave a glimpse of the action-thriller, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh fame, hinting at a display of sleek and enthralling action sequences that push the boundaries of cinematic excellence. Ranbir commented about his character, "It's a new territory for me. It's a crime drama and a father-son story. It's something audiences don't expect me to do. It has got shades of grey.
