Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Bobby Deol unveiled the much-awaited Animal trailer in Delhi this afternoon. The crime drama is about Balbir (Anil Kapoor) and his son who looks up to him as a `hero`. The film brings to the fore a completely different shade of Ranbir. He plays the obsessed son who can go to any extent for his father`s protection and happiness.
During the trailer launch, Ranbir was asked about taking reference for Animal. At the event, the actor said he didn`t take a reference to play the role but he was often reminded of his father, the late Rishi Kapoor. The actor revealed, "Main jab Sandeep (Reddy Vanga) se milta tha toh yahi poochta tha ki ek reference dedo. Maine kabhi yeh… matlab I’ve never heard anything like this, mujhe kabhi yeh cheezein mehsoos nahi hui hain (When I used to meet Sandeep I would ask for a reference. I’ve never heard or felt anything like this)."
