Ranbir looks rugged in first look of ‘Animal’

The first look poster of Ranbir Kapoor’s film ‘Animal’ is out. The poster hints that the film will show Ranbir in a never-seen-before avatar.

The first look poster features Ranbir wearing a blood-soaked white shirt, smoking a cigarette, and staring at someone, while carrying a bloody axe in between his arms.

According to the Hindustan Times, ‘Animal’ will be released in theaters on August 11, 2023. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol.

The film will have Rashmika Mandanna opposite Ranbir. Sharing the picture, Rashmika wrote, “Animal first look is here. So, so excited for you all to see this look.” Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, too, tweeted Ranbir’s first look poster, and wrote, “Presenting you the first look of Animal. Happy New Year, people.”

Talking about working with Ranbir, Rashmika told Filmfare in June last year, “He’s extremely loving. I was, of course, nervous when I met him first, but I think he’s so easygoing that five minutes into the look test, we were already very comfortable with each other. Thinking about it, it’s amazing how easy it’s been so far with Ranbir and Sandeep. And he’s the only one in the whole industry who calls me ‘ma’am’, and I do not like it. I will get him for this one.”

‘Animal’ has been filmed in Himachal Pradesh as well as actor Saif Ali Khan’s Pataudi Palace near Delhi.

Ranbir Kapoor was last seen in Brahmastra. The movie also featured Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy. Ranbir’s upcoming projects include Luv Ranjan’s Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkaar alongside Shraddha Kapoor.
