About Animal
Meanwhile, Animal was earlier supposed to hit the silver screens on August 11. However, due to technical reasons, the film's release has now been pushed to December 1.
Ranbir will feature in a never-seen-before avatar in the film. The actor was seen sporting a heavy bearded look with a deadly expression and a bloodied weapon in his hand in the first ever poster of Animal.
Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, and he will be seen playing Ranbir's father. His first look was revealed by makers on Friday, and he looked every bit menacing in the poster.
