Surprisingly, the cast admitted they were unaware of the film's story until its premiere. Bobby Deol even felt anxious because Vanga took a long time to call him for the shoot, despite casting him in the role of Abrar Haque.

During a recent interaction with Siddharth Kannan, actor Manjot Singh, who portrayed the role of Ranbir Kapoor's overly devoted cousin in Animal, explained how even the main cast of the film had no idea about what was going on with the storyline. He mentioned that Anil Kapoor once shared an incident on set. He said, “Once, Anil (Kapoor) sir came on the set and told us that he met Bobby (Deol) sir in London, who asked him, ‘Who is this director? Why is he not starting the shoot with me? He has not even sent me the script yet. At least, he should send me the script'.”

He mentioned that it was then revealed that Bobby Deol had no lines in the movie. Surprisingly, Bobby himself wasn't aware for quite a while that he was portraying a character who doesn't speak. 

Actor Amanjot Singh, who played Ranbir's cousin in Animal, mentioned that they learned over half of the movie's storyline when they saw it during the premiere. Actor Vikram Bakshi added, “This was not just for us. 95 percent of the cast also didn’t know it. So, there was no bias.”

Animal is a gripping crime movie featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Anil Kapoor. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film narrates a complex tale full of violence and conflicts, primarily focusing on a difficult relationship between a father and son.
