Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal is getting flak from the audience for glorifying violence and toxic masculinity, but some are in awe of the performance of its cast members, especially Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol. The climax sequence of the film where the two actors are seen fighting each other while bare-chested has found a special mention. Recently, the actors who essayed the role of Ranbir’s cousins in the film revealed how Ranbir and Bobby braved the cold weather of London during the shoot of the film’s climax.
In a recent interaction with Pinkvilla, actor Kamaljeet Rana shared details about the shoot of Animal’s climax. He revealed that the scene was shot at an old London airport where aircraft are repaired. He said, “You know about London’s weather. It was so windy and cold. But we never saw Bobby or Ranbir say, ‘It is very cold, let’s wait for the temperature to change a bit.’”
Rana revealed Ranbir and Bobby were ready to shoot whenever Sandeep Reddy Vanga wanted them to. He said, “Whenever the director said he was ready, they were ready, they removed their shirts. Imagine the number of cigarettes they had to smoke because there were multiple takes. The scene was shot for five days, and the deep dedication that they showed..hats off.”
While the other cast members present in the scene were wearing suits, Ranbir and Bobby had to fight barechest. “It was not easy..it was a hand-to-hand fight, they had to lie down also at some moments, and there were no mats,” Rana shared.
Actor Gagandeep Singh added, “We could not just stand in that chilly weather even after wearing warmers and suits. We were shivering and they were bare chested. Hats off to their dedication.”
Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol play archrivals in Animal. The film explores the complicated relationship between Ranbir’s character and his father, played by Anil Kapoor. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri and Shakti Kapoor in pivotal roles. In three weeks, the film has earned Rs 517 crore in India and is still going strong at the box office. On Monday, it earned Rs 5.5 crore.
