The film’s climax tantalised audiences with the prospect of Animal Park, hinting at the emergence of even more formidable characters alongside Ranbir Kapoor’s compelling portrayal.

Released globally on December 1, 2023, Animal helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Ranbir Kapoor explores the tumultuous bond between a father and son. Alongside Kapoor, the movie features Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, and Triptii Dimri in supporting roles.

Bobby Deol recently shared insights into his family’s response to his role in his latest film Animal, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Despite the film’s success, Bobby revealed that his father, Dharmendra and brother, Sunny Deol, have yet to watch it. However, his mother had conflicting emotions about the violent nature of the movie, particularly regarding Bobby’s portrayal as the main antagonist.

In an interview with a leading portal, Bobby disclosed that his mother found it challenging to witness his character’s demise in the film, expressing, “My mom couldn’t handle my death scene. She was like, ‘Aisi film mat kiya kar tu, mujhse nahi dekha jaata.” He reassured her that it was merely a role he portrayed on screen. Despite her apprehensions, she remains delighted with the attention Bobby has received, much like when his series Ashram was released.

In another interview, Bobby mentioned that while his father and brother haven’t seen Animal yet, the rest of the family has and shares sentiments similar to the audience’s reception. He acknowledged their inherent support, stating they’re naturally biassed, but they’ve always had faith in his abilities as an actor. Speaking about his wife and children’s reactions to his antagonistic role, Bobby expressed joy in seeing happiness in their eyes, highlighting their unwavering belief in his journey and witnessing his successes and setbacks.
