Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who made waves with his first film Arjun Reddy, is gearing up to launch his next big project with actor Ranbir Kapoor.

The makers of the film, titled Animal, announced the formal launch, earlier on Friday. The film will be released in theatres on August 11, 2023.

The film started on Friday with a pooja ceremony. It's shoot began in the Himalayas as well.

As the title of the film depicts the protagonist's tough personality, Sandeep has prepared a first-of-its-kind and potential subject, well aware of the high expectations. He will be presenting Ranbir Kapoor in an entirely new role. In fact, Ranbir had a makeover for the film.

Animal is a pan-India project that will be released in all southern languages as well as in Hindi.

The unusual pairing of Ranbir and Sandeep has already generated a lot of interest in the project, which features some notable actors in key roles.

Bhushan Kumar and Pranav Reddy Vanga are producing the film on behalf of T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures.
