Mahesh Babu, visibly impressed, said: “Bobby, you come in the end, and you blew my mind - my phone just dropped. The transformation is stunning, and as an audience, it's very inspiring for us. I can't wait to watch you on the big screen.”

The film is Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s third film after ‘Arjun Reddy’ and the Shahid Kapoor-starrer ‘Kabir Singh’ both of which were blockbusters. ‘Animal’ releases in cinemas on December 1.
