Ranbir Kapoor on going bald for Animal and quitting smoking
Ranbir Kapoor revealed his preparation for Animal. He explained that he had to go bald for the final scene of the film, which made his hair short. He is letting it grow back now. He is not following any diet since he has a break for a few months.
He said, “For Animal, I had shaved my hair! For the last scene, I had done that. So now I am growing my hair. Since I am not working on any film, I am eating a lot, and not following any diet. Kyunki maine itne lifestyle change kar diya hai mera, smoking quit kar ke to..usme main woh or chocolates daba raha hu (Since I have changed my lifestyle, I have quit smoking…so I am eating chocolates).”
Ranbir Kapoor calls Animal his darkest film
The actor also praised director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s originality as a filmmaker. While stating that ‘Animal‘ is his ‘darkest project yet’, he explained, “This is the darkest film I have done because I am not playing any psycho killer in it. It is just the character, his mind, and the way he operates. His psyche is very dark.”
He further added, “It is not somebody who I am or can relate to. It was very interesting for me to play him on screen because it was a very new, original character. I am glad I collaborated with Sandeep on this because I got a lot from him, about heroism, about characters, and about a grey part like this.”
