Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna starrer ‘Animal’ have postponed the release date of the much-awaited action-thriller. The movie was initially slated to hit the theatres on August 11. The new release date is yet to be announced. Helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the movie also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in the lead roles.
On Twitter, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the updates. He tweeted, “#Xclusiv… Animal not arriving on Independence Day weekend … #Animal - starring #RanbirKapoor and directed by #SandeepReddyVanga - *won’t* release on 11 Aug 2023… Yes, the film has been postponed… A new release date will be announced in the coming days. #BhushanKumar.”
A pre-teaser of the movie from last month began with several people wielding axes and wearing skull masks, white shirts, black waistcoats, and ties. Ranbir walked in with an axe to fight with the group. He swung his axe as he killed several people. In the first look poster of the film, he held an axe under his arm, with blood stains on his shoulder, as he lit a cigarette.
After wrapping up shooting last month, Rashmika penned a long emotional note on her Instagram stories. A part of her note read, "Rkaaaaayyy, I think initially because he is #ranbirkapoor. I was super nervous but my god!!! Our little secret...God has really taken his time to make him perfect ya..Brilliant actor. Amaaazing human - Everything else - Crazy no?”
She added, "Love it.. but what a beautiful human he is ya.. I only wish the best for him for life and woaaaaahhhhh. wait haveeeee to say this RK in Animal is the bomb. I don't think people are ready for him yet but the release is coming sooooooooonn... I am super duper excited for the team.”
