Ranbir Kapoor broke new ground with the film - Animal. From its 2022 announcement to its record-breaking ₹900 crore global box office haul, the action-drama is still making huge headlines and dominating social media. Marking a significant milestone in Ranbir's career, it became his first project to cross this astronomical figure.
