Although the team has not confirmed the news of postponement, and announced the new release date of the movie, the sources informed that the movie is expected to release in December 2023. Animal also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. The movie is Sandeep’s second Hindi film after the blockbuster Kabir Singh (2019). 

On June 11, the makers of Animal dropped the pre-teaser of the Animal which stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role. The 50-second-long pre-teaser featured Ranbir in a never seen avatar. Before that, the leaked photos and videos from the shoot went viral on the internet. If Animal will not release on August 11, then it will also avoid clashing with Rajinkanth’s Jailer and Chiranjeevi’s Bholaa Shankar.
