Sandeep Reddy Vanga poses atop Animal's iconic war machine

A rather pivotal sequence in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal is when Ranbir Kapoor's Rannvijay Singh wages war on his father Balbir Singh's (played by Anil Kapoor) attempted assassin. The hero of the sequence however, is not Kapoor's Rannvijay Singh. It is, instead, a larger than life automatic multi-pronged machine which proceeds to wreak havoc, flipping the narrative in favour of the protagonist.

A picture now, of Sandeep Reddy Vanga, seated atop the grand piece of work, has been doing the rounds of the internet. The director can also be seen pointing a gun at the camera. For the unversed, the film has immensely strong themes of violence, going as far as being rated a full five points by the British Board of Film Classification under the violence category.
