After a hiatus of almost two-and-a-half years, Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor is set to return to the big screen in the lead role of "Animal," which will be directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
Actor Anil Kapoor, who starred in the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, will also feature in the upcoming movie. He announced the news on Twitter on New Year's Day.
Oh boy! The new year just gets better with this whistle!😉

It's also expected that Ranbir Kapoor will appear alongside his girlfriend Alia Bhatt in "Brahmastra" directed by Ayan Mukherji, which has been delayed due to the pandemic.
