While everyone is talking about Anil Kapoor's iconic role as Balbir Singh in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's latest blockbuster, 'Animal’, it is a lesser-known fact that the actor spent hours behind a latex mask and facial prosthetics to perfect the role of his body double named Kailash in the film.


According to the latest behind-the-scenes video from the film, Kapoor had a lot of hard work to do before he believed he could do justice to the character. The video shows Kapoor wearing a full facial mask. The megastar, who has been in the movies for 40 years now, is known for his discipline and methodical approach to every character he portrays. This time was no exception as he resorted to prosthetics as part of his preparation for the double role. His mannerisms and appearances are a staple in his films. The makeup included heavy nose, under-eye, brow, and lip appliances.



It took him several hours to undergo the transformation on set, but it was worth it as the actor is overwhelmed by the positive response he has received.
 Ranbir Kapoor's film 'Animal' has been creating havoc at the box office. On the work front, Anil Kapoor is all set to kick-start the new year on a fighter note. After Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor has recently shared a new poster of himself as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh, aka Rocky.

As soon as the veteran actor dropped the poster from the film, fans flooded the comment section to show their love for the ace actor. While commenting on the post, a fan wrote, “Most demanding actor right now”. Another fan commented, “Anil Kapoor reverse mode me aa gaye hai, dheere dheere 50 then 40, 30 uske baad 20 saal ke launde ka role karenge, dekh lena”.

Fighter is emerging as more than just a film; it is a movie transcending conventional storytelling. Helmed by Siddharth Anand and presented by Viacom18 Studios, in collaboration with Marflix Pictures, it brings together thrilling action and a strong patriotic fervour. Mark your calendars for January 25th, 2024, India's 75th Republic Day, as 'Fighter' takes flight, and witness the spectacle of cinematic brilliance.
