The actor unveiled the trailer of ‘Animal’ in New Delhi, and revealed that he went speechless after hearing the script.
Actors always get excited when they hear a new script. Seldom do they get speechless and think of it as uncharted waters. Actor Ranbir Kapoor resonated with this thought after director Sandeep Vanga Reddy narrated the script of ‘Animal’ to him.
The actor revealed that he got nervous and introspected his abilities after he heard the story.
“I went straight to the bathroom and gazed into the mirror. My first thought was if I will ever be able to do a film like this. Its story is such that I had never heard of it before. I am a fan of Sandeep, and loved Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh. I am grateful to him to have chosen me for this film because people can never think of me in such a role,” he shared.
Due to the complex character, Ranbir started preparing for his role two years ago. In fact, he also prepared his body and flexed in the gym.
“I have been working out in the gym with my trainer in London for the last one year. I understood that the climax is a fight sequence with Bobby sir, and I had to show my body. So I ensured that I better look good,” he said.
When asked if the film is too dark since it carries violenet scenes, the actor shared that he won’t call it dark. Instead he described it as ‘adult Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham’.
Animal stars Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. Directed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy and produced by Bhushan Kumar, the trailer packs a perfect punch of emotions, drama and violence. It portrays a father-son relationship, with Ranbir playing a man committed to safeguarding his family.
The film is set to release in theatres on December 1.
