The B-town celebs are busy with their New Years vacation. And the fans are drooling over the pictures of their favorite stars. Amidst all this, the makers of action thriller Animal have dropped the first look of Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming film. In the fierce-looking poster, the actor can be seen smoking a cigarette while holding an axe with blood on it. Kapoor’s ferocious avatar with long hair, a heavy beard and blood-stained arm speaks volume of how magnanimous the character would be.
A fan cheered for Ranbir and wrote, “SUPERSTAR #RanbirKapoor era is truly here.. let’s bask in it !!! I Love You.. and I’m Proud of You.. my favorite Superstar.” Another penned, “Omg, what a look. Never seen before like this, truly he is a beast, this is going to be Ranbir’s best character.”
While some praised Ranbir, a certain section of internet went on to slam the creators of the movie for copying and merging Yash’s look from KGF and Allu Arjun’s look from Pushpa to come out with Ranbir’s look in Animal.
An angry user wrote, “Cheap copy of Rocky Bhai’s look from KGF”. Another opined that Ranbir’s fanbase is majorly rom-com lovers, so they may not like this film. He said, “This may again flop.. Ranbir Kapoor’s fan base is not a hard-core action movie, masala movie buffs.. And those who would love to watch such a film may not like Ranbir in it. Anyway, it’s my personal opinion.”
A third comment read, “Nah, it’s gonna similar like Shamshera. Initially a badass first look then a disappointing movie with cringe jokes and foreign location videos.” A netizen also stated, “Looks like a Typical Chapri.”
For the unversed, Animal is set to hit the theatres on August 11, 2023. It also features Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol.
