Press Release
Distributed by GEEK PICTURES — ANIMAL to Open in Japan on Friday, February 13, 2026! Original Trailer and New Poster Visual Unveiled, Plus Japan Premiere Screening Confirmed!
GEEK PICTURES, in collaboration with Geek Pictures Pvt. Ltd., will release the Indian film ANIMAL in Japan on Friday, February 13, 2026.
We are pleased to unveil the original (domestic) trailer and a new poster visual for the film.
In addition, a Japan premiere screening, the earliest screening of the film in Japan ahead of its official release, has also been confirmed.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
◾️New Poster Visual & Original Trailer Unveiled
The newly released original trailer runs over three minutes and powerfully depicts Ranvijay’s (Ranbir Kapoor) obsessive love for his father Balbir (Anil Kapoor) as it spirals out of control.
As a child, Ranvijay once chose to prioritize his father’s birthday over attending an M. Jackson concert—only to be coldly rejected by Balbir.
Yet even as an adult, Ranvijay continues to long for his father’s approval.
When he cuts his hair short to please Balbir, his father tells him, “You looked good with long hair too.” Ranvijay immediately replies, “Then I’ll grow it back,” and soon appears again with long hair.
As his twisted devotion deepens, Ranvijay turns to violence. Living up to Balbir’s words that he “does not value human life,” Ranvijay mercilessly takes down those who stand in his way.
Seeing what he has become, his wife Geetanjali (Rashmika Mandanna) pleads with him, saying, “Your love for your father is seriously unhealthy,” but Ranvijay lashes out in fury.
He then declares, “If anything happens to my dad, I’ll burn the world down,” and unleashes gunfire from a Gatling gun.
However, the trailer ends with Ranvijay collapsing in a duel against his nemesis Abrar (Bobby Deol).
What awaits a man starved for love—?
Also unveiled is a new poster visual featuring a blood-soaked Ranvijay standing defiantly with an axe in hand, accompanied by the striking tagline:
“Blood, Blood, Blood, Love.”
It evokes both the “blood” of violence and the inescapable “bloodline” that binds the family.
In sharp contrast to the previously revealed cool-toned visual, this new poster delivers an intense, violence-charged impact—pushed to 120%.

◾️Synopsis
Love or madness—no one can stop this man.
A starving beast, burdened with his family’s fate, sets out on an endless path of revenge.
Ranvijay is born as the eldest son of Balbir, a powerful steel tycoon in Delhi.
Starved for affection from his work-obsessed father, he is sent to a boarding school in the United States following a certain incident.
Years later, Ranvijay returns to India to attend Balbir’s 60th birthday celebration, only to clash with his brother-in-law and be rejected by his father.
Devastated, Ranvijay elopes and marries his childhood friend Geetanjali, returning with her to the United States.
Eight years later, upon learning that Balbir has been attacked, Ranvijay rushes back to Delhi, swearing revenge.
He gathers outlaws and relentlessly corners his enemies, but his actions spiral out of control.
As the existence of a powerful nemesis comes to light, Ranvijay is driven deeper into an inescapable cycle of vengeance.
