Bollywood’s Ranbir Kapoor spoke about how his latest role that “allowed him to explore new depths in his performance” as he geared up for the global release of “gripping and intense” crime-drama ‘Animal’.
Speaking during an interview with Variety this week, Ranbir said ‘Animal’ presented a unique opportunity to break away from his previous roles and delve into a character that is “multi-dimensional and complex”.
“My character in ‘Animal’ is a fascinating blend of strength, vulnerability and unpredictability,” he was quoted as saying.
