The recently released teaser of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal got people excited for the violent action thriller's December release. The glimpse into the dark world of Sandeep Reddy Vanga was given on the actor's birthday on September 28. While being intriguing and thrilling, the teaser oozed grandeur and had visually arresting sequences. 

Owing to the demand for extensive post-production work and delays, the budget of Animal reportedly shot up substantially. A report on Pinkvilla's website claimed that Ranbir came out in support of producers Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep and slashed his remuneration considerably. Reportedly, when the budget rose significantly, the actor decided to let go of half of his fees.
