The excitement was palpable in Mumbai as the star-studded cast and other Bollywood luminaries gathered for the much-anticipated screening of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s crime saga, Animal, on Thursday evening, as per The Indian Express. The event witnessed the presence of Animal's lead actor, Ranbir Kapoor, who attended the screening accompanied by his loving wife, Alia Bhatt, and his mother, Neetu Kapoor. The evening was a visual treat, filled with fashion, camaraderie, and a shared enthusiasm for the film.

Alia, the ever-supportive wife and brilliant actor, made a stylish entrance at the venue, donning a black coat and pants paired with a white t-shirt featuring Ranbir's character, Arjun Singh, from the film. The t-shirt not only showcased Ranbir's rugged look but also bore a dialogue from Animal, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.

Alia's arrival was captured in a video shared on social media, where she was joined by her sister Shaheen and mother Soni Razdan. Renowned filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt was also present, striking a pose with Shaheen and Soni, contributing to the familial atmosphere.

Ranbir Kapoor, dapper in a black suit, graced the event hand in hand with his mother, Neetu Singh, who looked equally stylish in black attire. The mother-son duo exuded grace and charm as they made their way to the screening of Animal, setting the tone for a night filled with anticipation and celebration.

The Deols added to the glitz of the occasion, with Bobby Deol, who plays the antagonist in the film, attending with his wife Tanya and son Aryaman. Karan Deol, nephew to Bobby and son of Sunny Deol, was also spotted at the event, showing his support for his uncle's portrayal in the film. Bollywood veterans Anil Kapoor and Shakti Kapoor were among the distinguished guests seen at the screening, further elevating the glamour quotient of the evening.

With Animal set to hit theatres on Friday, trade expert Girish Johar predicts a massive opening for the film globally, citing Ranbir's track record for starting big on non-holidays. The film is expected to perform exceptionally well, even with its adult certification, non-holiday release, and longer duration. If successful, Animal will mark Ranbir's second consecutive hit after Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.

As the clock ticks down to the film's release, the anticipation among fans and the Bollywood fraternity is at an all-time high, promising a grand opening for the flick. Stay tuned for the cinematic extravaganza that awaits audiences.
