Ranbir as Aziz

Ranbir played Ranvijay Singh in the film, but by the end of it, it was revealed that Aziz went through a face transplant to look exactly like him. The ending scenes showed how unhinged and violent Aziz was, setting up for a sequel titled Animal Park. Sharing pictures of Ranbir rocking the short hairstyle, covered in blood and smoking a cigarette, Aalim talked about his experience while shooting the film.

He wrote, “These are a few pictures clicked by me on the sets of movie ANIMAL on the day of Aziz intro shoot and the best part for me in these pictures is the emotion you can see in Ranbir’s eyes.” He also shared that he clicked Ranbir’s pictures at the end of shoot because the photographer had left for the day, “The looks of the film is gonna remain very close to my heart. I remember when Ranbir was just sitting Next to me after he finished the shot I requested him to allow me to click few pictures as the official photographer had to leave early because of some emergency.”

He also shared that a lot of ‘homework’ had to be done to show Ranbir as a teenager in the film. Aalim wrote, “Lot of homework was done make the teenage Ranvijay character look fresh and yet to have that aggression of a character he is playing in the movie. I collected lot of pictures of Ranbir’s when he was 16-17 years old… We wanted to created the same fullness,texture and health in the hair that a teenage boy usually possess.”
