Later, the whole team of Animal stepped out to pose for the paparazzi. In one of the pictures, team 'Animal' is seen posing together for the pictures in front of the shutterbugs. The celebs also all playfully imitated Bobby's viral finger-on-mouth pose from the film which went viral on social media.
'Animal' was helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. It was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2023. However, it was also criticised for its depiction of misogyny. Prem Chopra, Shakti Kapoor and Suresh Oberoi also featured in the film. The film left many fans excited as it had a post-credits scene, teasing a sequel titled 'Animal Park', in which Ranbir would potentially have a double role.
'Animal' revolves around a troubled father-son relationship and has Ranbir in the role of Rannvijay Singh, who goes on to exact revenge after there's an assassination attempt on his father. The film raked in over Rs 800 crore at the box office.
