 "WATCH: Animal's teaser unveiled; Ranbir Kapoor headlines violent drama")
The teaser of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal was released on Thursday, coinciding with Ranbir Kapoor's 41st birthday. The highly anticipated film marks Kapoor's return to the silver screen after last year's Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva. Animal also stars Rashmika Mandanna, who gained fame through the film Pushpa.
Animal Teaser Released
At the start of the teaser, Ranbir Kapoor's character and his love interest, Geetanjali (Rashmika Mandanna), are seen taking a stroll together. When she asks him, "Thought about kids?", Ranbir replies that he wants to be a father. Irritated by Geetanjali's enquiries about his criminal father, Balbir (Anil Kapoor), Kapoor retorts that his father "is the best father in the world."
The teaser features flashback sequences of Anil Kapoor slapping his son. These scenes portray a troubled relationship between Balbir and his son, who has grown up seeking his father's approval.
Anil Kapoor's justification for his strained relationship with his son is, "I am sure I made some mistakes. I didn't know how to train a son." "You have trained me well, papa," replies Ranbir's character, with snippets showing his metamorphosis into a gangster and taking over his father's criminal empire. The second half of the teaser shows him taking on the villain, played by Bobby Deol.
