Bobby Deol playing cannibal in 'Animal'? Actor addresses speculations
The buzz surrounding the upcoming film Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, has reached a fever pitch, particularly after the release of its teaser. But one character that has everyone talking is Bobby Deol's mysterious role. Some speculate that he might be playing a gay character, while others think he could be portraying a cannibal. In a recent interview, Deol addressed the speculations by almost confirming the cannibalism theory.
Why does this story matter?
The director of Animal, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has a remarkable track record in delivering successful films. He achieved immense success with Arjun Reddy and its Hindi adaptation Kabir Singh. Now, Vanga is expected to repeat this feat with Animal. The film features Kapoor in a rugged and unconventional role. Previously scheduled for an August 11 release, Animal is now set to hit theaters on December 1.

Chewing something." The actor's response has only heightened the curiosity surrounding his character.
