As the highly anticipated film "Animal," featuring Ranbir Kapoor, gears up for its theatrical release on December 1, 2023, in multiple languages, the actor's commitment to the project takes center stage. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and boasting a stellar cast including Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Rashmika Mandanna, the film's recent teaser garnered immense praise, setting the stage for its grand debut. However, behind the scenes, Ranbir Kapoor, a producer's actor, made a significant sacrifice to ensure the film's production lived up to its ambitious vision.
Ranbir Kapoor's Generous Gesture:
Known for his active involvement in the creative and logistical aspects of his projects, Ranbir Kapoor, recognizing the delays in post-production and the film's increased costs, took a proactive step. Despite commanding a market value of approximately Rs 70 crores per film, the actor voluntarily reduced his acting fees by over 50% for "Animal." Sources reveal that Ranbir Kapoor is now charging an upfront fee of Rs 30 - 35 crores, with the remainder allocated to enhance the production values of the gangster-drama. Additionally, the actor has a profit-sharing arrangement, underscoring his dedication to the project's success.
Ranbir Kapoor's Recent Track Record:
As one of the most bankable actors in the current generation, Ranbir Kapoor's post-pandemic theatrical journey has seen a mix of performances. While "Shamshera" faced challenges, "Brahmastra" performed well, and "Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar" secured decent business. With "Animal," Ranbir Kapoor aims not only for it to be his most significant post-pandemic success but also his highest-grossing film to date. The film delves into the complexities of a troubled father-son relationship against the backdrop of the underworld's extreme violence, transforming the protagonist into a psychopath driven by obsessive love for his father. As anticipation builds, all eyes are on Ranbir Kapoor to deliver a hit that unleashes his full theatrical potential.
