Japanese movie fans are getting a special Indian treat next year. Animal is finally coming to theatres in Japan.
The Journey of Animal
Remember when Animal dropped in December 2023? The movie basically took over every conversation everywhere. Box office numbers went crazy and broke records left and right. Ranbir Kapoor gave such a raw performance that people still debate about it. His acting had everyone either loving or hating the film passionately.
Bhadrakali Pictures made this Japan announcement out of nowhere this week. They’re hyping it up as some kind of cinematic masterpiece for global crowds. Honestly, they think Japanese audiences will eat this up completely. Sandeep Reddy Vanga clearly wants Animal to reach every corner of the world.
Just a few weeks back, Anil Kapoor got all emotional on Instagram. He and Sandeep Reddy Vanga were sharing old set photos for Animal’s second anniversary. Their posts had tons of nostalgia dripping from every single line written. Fans went wild in the comments asking for behind-the-scenes stories nonstop.
Star Power and Reception
Ranbir Kapoor leads this star-studded cast with his brilliant acting skills throughout. Rashmika Mandanna plays the female lead and brings emotional depth here. Anil Kapoor showcases his legendary talent in a pivotal supporting role. Bobby Deol completely stole scenes with his menacing villain performance honestly.
Bobby Deol became ‘Lord Bobby’ after this movie was fired in India. Fans couldn’t stop loving his dark and creepy role on social media. His screen presence left fans silent during key scenic moments. This role revived Bobby Deol’s career in ways nobody expected earlier.
Animal grabbed attention for its incredibly strong performances from everyone involved. The production quality looked absolutely world-class throughout every single frame. Critics loved Sandeep Reddy Vanga for his bold directorial view. However, some people hated the film’s too graphic violence, shown often.

Building Hype in Japan
The Japanese promotion uses a catchy phrase to attract local audiences. “Kono otoko wa Darenimo Tomerarenai” means “This man cannot be stopped” perfectly. This tagline captures Ranbir Kapoor’s unstoppable character beautifully in the storyline. Marketing teams know exactly how to create buzz among Japanese moviegoers.
Look, Animal deals with some pretty heavy stuff about family bonds and anger. Sandeep Reddy Vanga basically throws raw scenes right in your face without notice. His directing type is polarising, but you can’t deny the guy has guts. Most directors would chicken out of offering half the things they put onscreen.
February 13, 2026 marks a new chapter for Animal internationally now. Japanese halls will play this raw Bollywood film with proper subtitles. Ranbir Kapoor’s fan base in Japan has grown well over recent years. This release could open doors for more Indian films there, potentially.
