Prabhas praises Animal teaser. 'Animal,' featuring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, is one of the most highly anticipated Bollywood films of 2023. The excitement began as soon as the clock struck midnight on New Year's Day in 2023 when the makers unveiled Ranbir's first look from this crime thriller, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
The initial poster showcases Ranbir gripping an axe, exuding a deadly aura.Prabhas, who achieved pan-Indian stardom following the blockbuster success of the two 'Baahubali' films, took to his Instagram Stories on January 1 to share Ranbir's first look. He lauded the 'Brahmastra' actor, referring to him as a 'superstar.' Alongside the striking image of Ranbir, the 'Radhe Shyam' actor extended his best wishes to Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Bhushan Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and the entire 'ANIMAL' team.
This gesture isn't surprising, as Prabhas is set to collaborate with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for his next film after 'Animal.'

However, the film's release date remains undisclosed.Before 'Spirit,' Prabhas has four other movies lined up for release.
First, he will portray Lord Rama in the mythological epic 'Adipurush,' directed by Om Raut, based on the Ramayana. Although the film was initially slated for release on January 12, it was later postponed to June 16 due to a mixed response to its teaser. Now, there are rumors that it might be pushed further to 2024.In 2023, Prabhas's other release is the action-packed 'Salaar,' directed by Prashanth Neel of 'KGF' fame, set to hit theaters on September 28.
After 'Adipurush' and 'Salaar,' the 'Saaho' actor has 'Project K,' a science fiction film, and an untitled project with Maruthi scheduled for release next year.Returning to 'Animal,' the film boasts a stellar cast, including Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Tripti Dimri, and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles.
