Ranbir Kapoor's blockbuster 'Animal' to release in Japan

Ranbir Kapoor's blockbuster 'Animal' is set for a 2024 theatrical release in Japan. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga film, a major 2023 hit, continues its global expansion.

"Kono otoko wa Darenimo Tomerarenai. - Bhadrakali Films announcement for Japanese audiences"

Mumbai, December 24

'Animal,' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is set to return to theatres almost two years after its release. This time, the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer will be released exclusively in Japan, where Indian films have been gaining more viewers in recent years.

The makers took to their social media on Wednesday to share the exciting news. The announcement was made through a post on X, along with a special poster created for Japanese audiences.

Bhadrakali Films, one of the producers of 'Animal,' shared the poster on its official X handle, with a caption that read: "Kono otoko wa Darenimo Tomerarenai. The most talked-about, debated, and unforgettable cinematic experience is coming to Japan."

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 'Animal' was one of the biggest box office films of 2023. The film, however, also sparked debates. At the time, several viewers raised concerns over the alleged depiction of misogyny in the Ranbir starrer.

The film also starred Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol in lead roles. It left many fans excited, particularly because of a post-credits scene teasing a sequel titled 'Animal Park,' in which Ranbir will be seen playing a double role.

'Animal' revolves around a troubled father-son relationship, with Ranbir in the role of Rannvijay Singh, who seeks revenge after an assassination attempt on his father.

While I'm happy for the film's success, I really hope the Japanese audience also gets to see the debates around it. The film was a blockbuster, yes, but the portrayal of women was problematic. Our cinema's global reach should come with responsible storytelling.

Bobby Deol's entry as the villain was pure fire! 🔥 That's the scene that will break the internet in Japan too. The music, the raw energy... it's a cinematic experience, for sure. Waiting for Animal Park now!

Interesting move. Japanese audiences appreciate complex characters and intense dramas. The father-son dynamic at the core might resonate well there, even if the outer shell is all action and violence.

The marketing line in Japanese is a cool touch! "Kono otoko wa..." Shows they are putting in the effort to connect locally. Ranbir's performance was career-defining. Wishing the team all the best for the release!
