Animal: Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna's film not pushed, pre-teaser release date revealed

Despite rumours going rife about a delay in the release of Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer Animal, the film is slated to hit the screens on August 11. The makers also announced the pre-teaser release date for the film which is heading for a release clash with OMG 2 and Gadar 2 on August 11.

Hyderabad: The release of Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna's upcoming film Animal was said to be getting rescheduled after the makers of Akshay Kumar-starrer OMG 2 locked already crowded Ausgut 11 for film's release. Putting speculations to rest, team Animal took to social media and confirmed that the film is not getting pushed and will release on the announced date. The makers also shared that Animal pre-teaser will be out tomorrow.

Taking to social media, Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga shared an update on the film's release date. The filmmaker shared a poster revealing the pre-teaser release date and time which is tomorrow at 11:11 am. Animal pre-teaser will be out exactly two months prior to the film's release on August 11. With the latest announcement, team Animal made it clear that they are not in the mood to bow down and make way for Gadar 2 and OMG 2.

If Rajinikanth's Jailer which is releasing on August 10 is excluded from the list, three highly anticipated films will be hitting the big screens on the same day. While Animal was announced earlier, the makers of Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 and Akshay's OMG 2 eyed for the same release date later.
