Meanwhile, Ranbir recently opened up about the ongoing comparison between Animal and Kabir Singh. Talking to Variety, Ranbir said, "Well, to be honest, I was really drawn to the script of 'Animal'. It's a unique and intense story that immediately caught my attention. As for watching 'Arjun Reddy' or 'Kabir Singh', I must admit that I did watch both films and found them to be incredibly powerful and impactful. However, my decision to accept 'Animal' was not solely based on those films. It was more about the script, the character, and the opportunity to work with Sandeep Reddy Vanga"
