Actor Bobby Deol said that he was delighted to work with Ranbir Kapoor on Animal. Describing Ranbir as his favourite actor, Bobby recalled how they bonded on set, and said that because they’re from film families, they could empathise with each other’s successes and failures. Bobby also said that Ranbir told him how he proposed to Alia Bhatt, and that he, Bobby, told Ranbir the story of his son’s birth.
He told Pinkvilla, “I remember being so sad the day after shooting ended. I had so much fun for 15 days. Ranbir is so lovely. I’m a big fan of him as an actor, but as a person, he’s amazing. Being with him, on the set, he gave me so much respect and love, without ever forcing it. We got along really well. Because we’re from film families, we know what we’ve been through, what our parents have been through. We just connected.”

Narrating the story behind a photograph that he shared on social media, Bobby continued, “It was a picture of us lying on the ground, waiting for the shot. You know what we were talking about? He was telling me how he proposed to Alia, and I was telling him about my first child’s birth. It was so easy to talk to him about all this. It was a moment we both cherished, and that picture is special to both of us.” Ranbir and Alia tied the knot last year, and have since welcomed their first child, daughter Raha.
Bobby said that another trait he shares with Ranbir is that they both love to shop. “We have a similar taste in clothes… I was just happy to get a chance to work with him. I’ve seen him grow up in front of me. I’ve seen him when he was younger. And I would always get fascinated looking at him. There was something about him, even as a child, when he’d dance at parties. You couldn’t take your eyes off him,” Bobby said. In a separate interview with Bollywood Hungama, he revealed that Ranbir would constantly be on social media on set, even though he doesn’t officially have an Instagram account.
Released worldwide on Friday, Animal has emerged as a massive hit, and is on track to become the biggest blockbuster of Ranbir’s career. After five days, the film has made nearly Rs 300 crore in India, and over Rs 450 crore worldwide. It has, however, also attracted criticism from certain quarters for its depiction of toxic masculinity.
