The much-awaited teaser of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal released on Thursday (Ranbir Kapoor's birthday) and it is trending a great deal. The teaser showcases Ranbir Kapoor and his abusive father Anil Kapoor's equation and how it changes the course of Ranbir's life. Bobby Deol features as the "Animal's enemy" (as stated by him in one of his previous Instagram posts). He only makes an appearance at the end of the video, sans shirt and with an intense stare. That one, scene, however, was enough to impress the Internet and many users on X (earlier called Twitter) have been cheering for him since the teaser's release.
"Just goosebumps! Apparently Bobby Deol has just overshadowed the other characters," wrote a user.
"Just one shot of Bobby Deol in Animal teaser, and that is so scary. He has evolved as an actor. Great to see that," a user wrote.
"Real Animal. Bobby Deol fans assemble," added another user.
"Damn Bobby Deol looks like Surya's Rolex from Vikram," read an excerpt from a user's tweet.
Another user signed off his tweet with these words, "Watch out of Bobby Deol in the last frame."
"Bobby Deol is back," wrote another X user.
"When Tiger 3 teaser came yesterday I liked it very much. But my opinion changed after watching #Animal teaser . Looking superb brilliant Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol top notch. Anil Kapoor as usual in his craft," another user wrote.
