Bobby Deol Admits He Couldn't Recognise Himself In Animal's Teaser: 'When I Did That Shot...'

The Animal teaser is finally out and it promises an intense experience in the cinemas. The teaser was released on the occasion of Ranbir Kapoor’s birthday. The actor headlines the film, marking his first collaboration with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. While people are waiting to see Ranbir Kapoor’s performance, Bobby Deol’s glimpse has also stoked curiosity. The actor has revealed in a recent interview that he couldn’t even recognise himself in the teaser.

Speaking at the Jagran Film Festival, Bobby Deol opened up about the pan-India film, “I was really lucky that I got to be a part of Animal, I have loved Sandeep’s work. He is the only director who has made the same film twice and succeeded both the times. I want to do different characters and as I have said before, I want to break my image, get challenged and be very uncomfortable as an actor. I am a big fan of Ranbir Kapoor. If there are two actors I am a big fan of, they are Ranbir and Alia and they are married to each other! So I was really excited to learn that Ranbir would be playing the main lead, and I knew it would be amazing working with him as I have always loved his work. It is an emotional, violent drama with love, romance and hate. Sandeep brings out different elements in characterisations which are so different from other filmmakers.”

He added, “When I did that shot, I didn’t even see the monitor. We were in a hurry to finish that moment. I saw the shot for the first time when I saw the teaser and I was like, ‘What?! This is me?!’ I am so glad about the response I have got for this one shot. It just shows that the audience wants to see me in something different. They want to know what I am doing in that shot– I can’t tell you that, but I am definitely eating something.”

News18 Showsha has exclusively learned that the makers of Animal are planning on launching the trailer just days before the film’s release on December 1. However, another song from the film might be released before the trailer is launched. A source tells us, “The trailer of Animal will be unveiled on November 23, about a week before the film hits the big screen. The makers want to make use of the next few weeks to build some intrigue and excitement surrounding the Ranbir Kapoor starrer. The trailer promises to be a hard-hitting and intense one which will definitely leave fans surprised. They’re in for a treat.”

Animal is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and is set to release in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
