Ranbir Kapoor's Animal promises to be high on violence with much bloodshed. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it is the story of a son who knows no boundaries regarding loving and protecting his father Balbir unconditionally. The crime drama was cleared by India's Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with an 'A' certificate. 

Animal, releasing on December 1, globally, was passed by the British censor board, British Board of Film Classification, with an 18+ certificate. On the official website of BBFC, the board revealed a couple of details with respect to the content shown in the film. The synopsis of Animal on the website read, "This dark Tamil language action drama charts a man's relentless pursuit of twisted revenge at all costs. Fight scenes are sustained and gory, domestic abuse is thematic, and there are isolated moments of sexual abuse."
