Anil Kapoor is all set to feature next in Sandeep Reddy Vanga바카라™s 바카라˜Animal바카라™, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra, and Suresh Oberoi, among others. In the film, Anil plays the role of Ranbir Kapoor바카라™s father, and talking about the actor, Anil said that he always knew that Ranbir is going to be a star.

Describing him as the 바카라œtall Raj Kapoor바카라, Anil, while speaking to Connect FM Canada, said that he always had faith in Ranbir바카라™s talent. He said, 바카라œI started my career as a casting director. I have a certain instinct for faces and actors. I바카라™m very proud of that. I watched Saawariya and I just said 바카라˜In the Kapoor family, there is a tall Raj Kapoor.바카라™ I said it almost 16 years ago.바카라

For those caught unaware, Ranbir made his Bollywood debut with Anil바카라™s daughter Sonam Kapoor in the 2007 film 바카라˜Saawariya바카라™, which was helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Not just Ranbir, Anil also praised Hrithik Roshan and recalled how he saw the potential of Hrithik when he watched him in 바카라˜Fiza바카라™, which was his second release after his debut film 바카라˜Kaho Naa Pyar Hai바카라™. 바카라œWhen I saw Hrithik바카라™s Fiza, I told him the same thing. I said 바카라˜Hrithik, you are a star for the next 25 years바카라™,바카라 Anil recalled.

Coming to 바카라˜Animal바카라™, the film features Anil Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor playing father and son, and the father-son story was recently described as the 바카라˜A rated바카라™ Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham by Ranbir Kapoor. 

At a press meet in Hyderabad, Anil mentioned how casting such a film was quite crucial in the film and mentioned how it helped that Ranbir and Anil바카라™s families have been friends for sixty years. 바카라œI knew Ranbir바카라™s dad very closely and we have been very close family friends for more than 60 years now. He is a part of the family,바카라 Anil said. He also called casting Bobby Deol in Animal a 바카라œmasterstroke바카라 on Sandeep바카라™s part.

Written-directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 바카라˜Animal바카라™ has both elements of typical South Indian and Bollywood films, and Ranbir바카라™s character has a relationship with his father which is carved in blood and darkness, which makes him a psychotic bloodthirsty killer.
