Animal Trailer: The eagerly awaited first trailer for Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Ranbir Kapoor, has been unleashed by T-Series. Described as a romantic crime thriller, the film takes a hyper-violent approach in exploring the scion of a business family, portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor, as he embarks on a revenge mission after his father is attacked. 

The trailer introduces a toxic dynamic between Ranbir’s character and his on-screen father, played by Anil Kapoor, establishing the intense hero-worship that becomes a driving force. 

Animal Plot

The narrative evolves into an all-out gang war, introducing Bobby Deol as a mute villain, setting the stage for a direct collision between the protagonist and antagonist. Notably, the trailer showcases Vanga’s signature portrayal of gender dynamics, with Ranbir’s character choking Rashmika Mandanna’s for pointing out his daddy issues.

Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his previous successes with Arjun Reddy and its Hindi adaptation Kabir Singh, has announced that Animal has received an ‘A’ rating from the Central Board of Film Certification and boasts a runtime of over three hours and 20 minutes. 

The film’s runtime places it among the longest mainstream Hindi releases, rivaling even Martin Scorsese’s epic Killers of the Flower Moon.

To clash with Sam Bahadur

Set to clash with Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur at the box office, Animal carries high expectations, especially following the performance of Tiger 3. 

Animal budget and expectation

With a reported budget of Rs 100 crore, Animal aims to distinguish itself in the cinematic landscape, offering a unique blend of gritty drama, family dynamics, and relentless action.
