About Animal

At the Animal promotional event in Hyderabad on Monday night, guest Mahesh Babu said, “I have told him before when I met him but I don't think he took that seriously. I am a huge Ranbir Kapoor fan and in my opinion he is the best actor in India." The makers unveiled the film's official trailer a few days ago, which received a massive response from the fans. The 3-minute-32-second trailer hinted that Ranbir's character had turned fierce because of his abusive upbringing during his younger age.
