After the high-intensity teaser, it's time for the trailer to take the audience into the world of Animal.

According to reports, the runtime of Animal is said to be 3 hours 21 minutes. Certain reports also claim that the film will have two intervals. However, there's no official confirmation from the makers yet.

Recently, the makers of Animal released yet another song from the album. Titled Arjan Vailly, it sees Ranbir in a never-seen-before avatar. He brings out his inner 'animal' in this Sandeep Reddy Vanga bloodbath. The song gained immense popularity ever since it debuted in the teaser. Arjan Vailly's lyrics are penned by Bhupinder Babbal and Manan Bhardwaj is the composer.

The first song to be released was Hua Main. Sung by Raghav Chaitanya, the romantic song is penned by Manoj Muntashir and composed by Pritam. It is picturised on Ranbir and Rashmika Mandanna. The second song, Satranga, also focuses on the lead pair. Arijit Singh is the singer with the lyrics penned by Siddharth-Garima and composed by Shreyas Puranik. Papa Meri Jaan song from the album was released recently. Sonu Nigam is the singer of the track that is all about a father-son bond.

Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Tripti Dimri. Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar's T-Series, Murad Khetani's Cine1 Studios and Pranay Reddy Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures are producing the film.

According to reports, Animal has locked the most number of theatres in the USA market, with 888 screens, leaving films like Tiger 3, Pathaan, Brahmastra, and Jawan behind. Calling the film his darkest project till now, Ranbir said in an interaction, "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. 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."
