Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal to be released on Dussehra 2022

Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming drama Animal is set to be released on Dussehra 2022. The news was confirmed by the film's director, Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The project will mark the first collaboration between the actor and the Kabir Singh (2018) filmmaker.

Animal will also feature Anil Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and Bobby Deol. 

The film will be a father-son saga, with Anil and Ranbir Kapoor playing the patriarch and his offspring respectively. Deol is expected to play a negative role. The film is being backed by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar's T-Series, Pranay Reddy Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures and Murad Khetani's Cine1 Studios. 

The title of the project was announced on 31 December via a video that featured the voice of Ranbir Kapoor. In the clip, the character revealed his dissatisfaction with his father which was followed by a barrage of gunfire, underlining the action element. 

The film will be Sandeep Reddy Vanga's first Hindi film since Kabir Singh, a surprise blockbuster that earned well over Rs200 crore.
