Animal Pre-teaser: Ranbir Kapoor is an angry young man in this Sandeep Vanga Reddy film

The makers of Animal have unveiled the first look of the film. Helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it is one of the highly anticipated films of the year. The pre-teaser teases Kapoor in a never-seen-before avatar, but the makers have not revealed much. The video opens with what appears to be Kapoor, grabbing an axe hanging on the wall. He is sporting veshti and long hair. In the next frame we see men in turban singing the Punjabi song while the actor can be seen fighting several people.

Seeing the pre-teaser it seems one-of-a-kind action-packed drama as Kapoor's appearance looks promising. The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles. It is being produced by Bhushan Kumar under the banner T-Series. The movie will hit the theatres in the Independence week - August 11. "2 months until the beast is unleashed. #2MonthsToAnimal," read the caption.
