Ranbir Kapoor’s film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga continues to captivate audiences even after almost 6 months of its release. The internet remains abuzz with behind-the-scenes pictures and videos, keeping fans enthralled.
Recently, renowned celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim shared an intriguing detail about Ranbir’s hairstyle in the film, revealing its inspiration from none other than the legendary Michael Jackson.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Hairstylist Reveals About His Look In The Entry Scene
On May 31, Aalim Hakim took to Instagram to share a series of images featuring Ranbir Kapoor as the young Ranvijay in Animal. The pictures showcase the actor with long hair and flicks falling over his face, embodying a carefree attitude.
In his lengthy caption, Hakim explained, “Ranbir Kapoor as young Ranvijay with his carefree attitude in the movie Animal.”
Hakim praised director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, describing him as a ‘genius’ who is deeply passionate about his characters, creating detailed backstories and aesthetics. Hakim recounted how Vanga had briefed him to give Ranbir a never-seen-before rockstar avatar.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal Hairstyle And Michael Jackson Connection
According to the director, Ranvijay, Ranbir’s character, is a diehard Michael Jackson fan. This connection becomes evident in the film’s climax when Ranbir’s character passionately asks his father, played by Anil Kapoor, to take him to a Michael Jackson concert. Hakim highlighted this scene as one of his favourites.
The hairstylist further shared, “You will also realise his entry in this look is on the bike smoking a cigarette and then you see him doing a famous MJ Moon Walk with a fantastic background score.” Reminiscing about the 90s, Hakim noted, “In the 90s we all used to have at least one poster of the King of Pop Michael Jackson in our cupboard, especially of ‘BAD’.”
Hakim expressed his excitement about incorporating elements of Michael Jackson’s hairstyle into Ranvijay’s look, calling it a ‘great opportunity’. He described his approach: “So I tried to keep a loose pony at the back with a lot of texture with a hair flick falling on the face. But we did it in a very subtle way to go with the vibe of Ranbir playing Ranvijay and not MJ. Hats off to Ranbir for pulling off every look in the movie with so much grace.”
He concluded by recalling the positive reactions from the director and the crew during the look test, with further suggestions made to enhance the hairstyle for the screen.
