The upcoming action thriller film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Tripti Dimri, has created a lot of buzz among the fans with its intriguing teaser and posters. The film, which revolves around the complex relationship of a father and son, is set to release on December 1, 2023.
Ranbir Kapoor talks about machine gun that was built from scratch
One of the most talked-about aspects of the film is the massive machine gun that Ranbir Kapoor’s character uses in the interval scene. The gun, which weighs around 500 kg and measures 12 feet in length, was built from scratch by the production designer Suresh Selvarajan and his team.
The makers of Animal recently attended a promotional event in Chennai ahead of the film’s release. At the conference, they were asked about the trolling for the machine gun and Computer-generated imagery (CGI). However, Animal production designer Suresh Selvarajan clarified that the machine gun, which weighed 500 kg, was built from scratch over a period of four months. It will reportedly appear during the 18-minute interval block. “I never saw such a thing happen for any Indian film. It was Sandeep’s vision,” he reportedly said.

Ranbir also added, “I remember the first time Suresh Anna showed us the war machine, I was shocked. He created it from scratch. It is such an original piece. It was a great idea that Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Suresh Anna had.”
He further said, “We are not shooting with actual guns. We have to pretend, imagine that if we are operating a machine so large, what would that do to our body, and our ears because we have to keep shooting for hours. I really had to imagine that because the bullets were coming under siege, they were not real. That is the magic of movies.”
Ranbir Kapoor on his character in Animal
In a recent conversation with Variety, Ranbir said, “My character in Animal shares some traits with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s protagonists. He is indeed tough and uncompromising in certain aspects,” Ranbir said. “But he is also multi-dimensional and complex, with moments of vulnerability and internal conflict that make him more relatable and human.”
“I was really drawn to the script of Animal,” he explained. “It’s a gripping and intense film that delves into the depths of human emotions and relationships. It explores the complexities of life and the choices we make, with a narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat.”
