Ranbir's inquisitiveness about the human condition was something Rahul found admirable, along with his sincerity in preparing for roles. "During the preparation for Animal, he had some questions. He was heading to Abu Dhabi for weapons training and asked me if it was a good place. He's very sincere and curious about the human condition," Rahul shared, highlighting Ranbir's methodical preparation for his roles.
