The makers of ‘Animal’ released the trailer of the film which has received a positive response from the fans. Ranbir Kapoor is winning hearts with his intense and maniac character giving us major daddy issues. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, among others. The 3-and-a-half-minute trailer shared glimpses of how Ranbir’s character is purely devoted to protecting his father and vows to kill those who attacked him. The movie is also based on the toxic and disturbing behaviour of Anil Kapoor’s character (Ranbir Kapoor’s father) towards the young Ranbir, which led to his impatient and psychopathic demenour when he grew up. The movie is set to release on December 1st and will clash with Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Sam Bahadur’.
