Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Murad Khetani, and Pranay Reddy Vanga, the film has courted controversy for its portrayal of extreme violence and has been criticized for glorifying toxic masculinity. Despite its financial success, a section of viewers and critics have labelled “Animal” as misogynistic.
The film’s narrative revolves around the tumultuous relationship between Anil Kapoor’s character, Balbir Singh, and Ranbir Kapoor’s character, Ranvijay Singh (Vijay), set against a backdrop of crime. Rashmika Mandanna plays the female lead, while Bobby Deol takes on the role of the primary antagonist. Shakti Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Prithviraj, and Siddhant Karnick also feature in pivotal roles.
