Animal revolves around the troubled relationship between Ranbir Kapoor's Ranvijay Singh and his father Balbir Singh, played by Anil Kapoor. Bobby Deol, who essays the role of antagonist Abrar Haque in the movie, has become a fan favourite. Talking about his character in Animal, Bobby Deol in conversation with news agency PTI, said, “There's good and evil in every human being and what gets the evil out of you is some situation. As an actor, you think as a character. 'I'm doing nothing wrong, I'm right in whatever I do'. You forget how to judge what is right and wrong. I was not put into a situation where I was not convinced or had to be convinced or felt awkward. I felt Abrar, the kind of savage and evil he is, I had to play it that way.”

He added, “He is obsessed with revenge. So, when you get so obsessed, you don't see what is good and bad, you just want to finish someone. That's how it is. In the film, he has suffered... It's a trauma that has made him this Animal kind of a person.”

Animal hit the theatres on December 1 alongside Meghna Gulzar's Sam Bahadur. It has been backed by T-Series Films, Bhadrakali Pictures and Cine1 Studios.
