Staying in the spotlight in an industry where fame comes and goes isn’t an easy feat, but Anil Kapoor has mastered the art over the past four decades, and he’s not slowing down. With a career spanning 40 years, Anil Kapoor is a veteran actor with a remarkable portfolio boasting more than 100 film credits. However, his newest project, “Animal,” sets itself apart from anything he has done before. In this latest venture, Kapoor showcases his versatility and continues to redefine his legacy in the ever-evolving landscape of Indian cinema.

In Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s movie “Animal,” the spotlight may have been on Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol, but let’s not overlook the stellar performance by the veteran Anil Kapoor. He took on the role of Balbir Singh, the father to Ranbir Kapoor’s character, and delivered a performance that was both intense and serious. Balbir Singh is portrayed as a successful businessman but an unaware father in the film, and Kapoor brought depth and authenticity to the character.

While much talk surrounded Ranbir Kapoor’s double role in the movie, it’s essential to highlight that Anil also played a dual role, adding another layer of intrigue to the storyline. His portrayal of Balbir Singh not only showcased his acting prowess but also contributed significantly to the overall impact of “Animal,” making it a memorable addition to his impressive filmography.

Anil Kapoor shared with one of the online news magazine, “Out of the blue, Bhushan Kumar called me and said he, along with Sandeep Reddy, would be dropping by to discuss a project. He explained that Ranbir is the lead, and I’d be playing his father. With just a brief overview, I agreed on the spot. Later, when I found out that Bobby Deol was also part of the movie, my excitement grew. We’ve all seen Bobby’s impressive performances, and it’s no different in ‘Animal.’ I truly appreciate his acting style, and working alongside him added to the thrill of being part of this project.” In this way, Anil Kapoor expressed his enthusiasm for joining the cast and his admiration for Bobby Deol’s acting skills.

Anil Kapoor’s love for Bollywood began in his childhood, surrounded by a culture where many youngsters dreamed of becoming actors. His journey into the film industry started during his teenage years when his father fell ill with heart issues. To help support the family, Anil took up various roles in the film world, from scouting locations to running errands for actors.
His versatility extends beyond acting into the realm of music. Anil Kapoor showcased his vocal prowess by lending his voice to songs like ‘Pyar Kiya Nahi Jaata’ from ‘Woh 7 Din’ (1983) and ‘I Love You’ from ‘Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai’ (2000).
