A gala evening filled with glitz and glamour unfolded on Saturday night in the city of Mumbai, where the successful team behind the blockbuster hit ‘Animal’ threw a star-studded party to celebrate their cinematic triumph. The night was a rendezvous of the who’s who of Bollywood, with celebrities arriving in their fashionable best to revel in the film’s roaring success.
One glittering presence among the guests was actor Radhika Madan, who was seen rubbing shoulders with the film’s leading star, Ranbir Kapoor. Commemorating the occasion, Radhika captured a selfie with Ranbir and later shared the joyous moment with her Instagram followers. The picture was sprinkled with star power as she captioned it, “No need to tame this Animal,” cheekily alluding to the film’s title and success.
The film’s main protagonist, Ranbir, graced the event alongside his wife Alia Bhatt, who stood by her husband as the quintessential supporter, urging him to bask in the spotlight and have his solo pictures taken by the eager paparazzi. The familial support was in full display as Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir’s mother, and Mahesh Bhatt, his father-in-law, also joined the jubilant celebration.
The success party saw a bevy of stars joining in the fête, including Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Triptii Dimri. The man behind the directorial lens, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and the film’s producer, Bhushan Kumar, were also in attendance, demonstrating the film’s collaborative spirit.
Social media was abuzz with snapshots and clips from the party, with one viral image showing the team ‘Animal’ gathered for a group photo, donning smiles and striking playful poses. The celebrities even emulated Bobby Deol’s widely popular ‘finger-on-mouth’ pose from the movie, which has become a social media sensation.
‘Animal’, crafted by director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, not only became one of the major box office hits of 2023 but was also the subject of extensive conversations due to its portrayal of complex themes, including some criticism for its depiction of misogyny. The film featured a stellar ensemble cast, including veteran actors Prem Chopra, Shakti Kapoor, and Suresh Oberoi.
The audience was thrilled as ‘Animal’ concluded with a post-credits scene that hinted at a sequel titled ‘Animal Park’, teasing the possibility of Ranbir Kapoor taking on a double role. The gripping narrative of ‘Animal’ delves into the depths of a tumultuous father-son relationship, showcasing Ranbir as Rannvijay Singh who is propelled onto a path of vengeance after an assassination attempt on his father. The film’s accolades were matched by its financial success, amassing over Rs 800 crore at the global box office.
Radhika Madan’s presence at the party also shone a light on her recent and upcoming projects. Following her portrayal in ‘Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video’, Radhika is set to embark on new cinematic ventures, including the Hindi remake of the Tamil hit ‘Soorarai Pottru’, marking her first collaboration with industry stalwart Akshay Kumar.
As the night progressed, the revelry continued with the star-studded attendees commemorating the hard work, talent, and creativity that propelled ‘Animal’ to its apex position in cinematic storytelling. The success bash etched in memories as a night when the lions of Bollywood roamed free and celebrated their reign over the box office jungle.
