Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal's pre-teaser was finally unveiled on Sunday. It quickly went viral on the internet and garnered mixed reactions. While some praised Ranbir Kapoor's never-before-seen avatar, others termed it as copied from a South Korean film.

Starting with Ranbir's entrance, the teaser shows him holding an axe while a group of masked men await his arrival. A lively Punjabi track serves as the backdrop to the visuals. Clad in a white kurta and dhoti, Ranbir's face is partially exposed in the footage. Based on the glimpse, Ranbir seems to portray the character of a formidable and ruthless gangster. He is seen engaging in a one-man-against-men fight.

Despite fans' enthusiasm for the film, a number of individuals accused Sandeep Reddy Vanga of replicating a scene from the South Korean film Oldboy. The said movie directed by Park Chan-wook and released in 2003, still maintains a significant fan base.

The film is set to release in theaters worldwide on August 11 in 5 languages ​​including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. It is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishna Kumar's T-Series, Murad Khetani's Cine 1 Studios and Pranay Reddy Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures.
