As the highly anticipated film "Animal" gears up for its December 1 release, the director, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, expressed his views on Ranbir Kapoor's onscreen image during a recent promotional event in Hyderabad. The entire cast, including Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and others, attended the event, where Vanga was quizzed about Kapoor's perceived 'chocolate boy' persona.

Contrary to the popular image, Vanga emphatically referred to Ranbir Kapoor as an 'Alpha' onscreen. He cited examples from Kapoor's diverse filmography, mentioning iconic roles in movies like "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and "Rockstar." Vanga debunked the notion of Kapoor being confined to a 'chocolate boy' tag, asserting that Ranbir Kapoor is unequivocally an 'Alpha' in his portrayal.

The revelation adds an intriguing layer to the expectations surrounding "Animal," marking a departure from Kapoor's previous roles. The film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is poised to challenge stereotypes and showcase Ranbir Kapoor in a formidable and alpha male avatar.

During another promotional event in Chennai on November 27, Ranbir Kapoor provided insights into the film's title, "Animal." He hinted at the perspective through which the audience will experience the film, emphasizing that the title aligns with the character he portrays and others yet to be unveiled. Kapoor's cryptic explanation adds an element of mystery to the much-anticipated movie.

"Animal" boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Triptti Dimri, and Shakti Kapoor, among others. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for the blockbuster "Kabir Singh," the film is set to clash with Vicky Kaushal's biopic drama, "Sam Bahadur," directed by Meghna Gulzar.

As the countdown to December 1 intensifies, the clash between "Animal" and "Sam Bahadur" promises a cinematic showdown.
