About the Film
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 'Animal' was one of the biggest box office films of 2023. The film, however, also sparked debates. At the time, several viewers raised concerns over the alleged depiction of misogyny in the Ranbir starrer.
The film also starred Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol in lead roles. It left many fans excited, particularly because of a post-credits scene teasing a sequel titled 'Animal Park,' in which Ranbir will be seen playing a double role.
'Animal' revolves around a troubled father-son relationship, with Ranbir in the role of Rannvijay Singh, who seeks revenge after an assassination attempt on his father.
