Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' won't hit theatres on August 11, new date to be announced

Fans have been looking forward to the actioner, ever since Sandeep Reddy Vanga announced Animal with Ranbir Kapoor. The team recently dropped a short pre-teaser, announcing that the film will release on August 11. However, Animal’s release has been reportedly pushed and it is now eyeing a December release.

While the film’s team is yet to make an official announcement, trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to social media to share the news.

He wrote, ” #Xclusiv… ‘ANIMAL’ NOT ARRIVING ON INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND… #Animal – starring #RanbirKapoor and directed by #SandeepReddyVanga – won’t release on 11 Aug 2023… Yes, the film has been postponed… A new release date will be announced in the coming days. #BhushanKumar.”

According to Bollywood Hungama, the film’s VFX is the reason for the delay. A source informed the portal that given Animal is one of the most ambitious projects helmed by T-Series, they do not want to compromise on the quality. The director supposedly needs more time to give a ‘world-class product’, the producers are standing by him.
