In a recent virtual press meet ahead of Animal's Japan premiere,
Ranbir talked about how excited he is for it and also shared that fans can expect the absolute best from him as well as the film. In the interaction, he also opened up on his special Japan connection with his grandfather, Raj Kapoor.
He shared that Mr. Raj Kapoor, who was a filmmaker and actor himself, his one of his most popular songs around the world is
Mera Juta Hai Japani, which means my shoes are made from Japan, but my heart is from India. "I had the good fortune to shoot a movie in Tokyo in 2015, a film called
Tamasha. And that's the first time I really explored the country, the culture, the heritage, the people. And it was one of the nicest experiences I've had. I have a three-year-old daughter now and I cannot wait to bring her and make her see
Japan. I'm very excited that Animal is premiering and releasing in Japan," he added. The actor is super excited for the film's premiere in Japan and cannot wait to see what their reactions will be. He said, "It's a
film that is made from the heart and I feel that it will deeply resonate and connect with an audience in Japan itself. And I hope that people like it, so when we make part two, we can ourselves get the opportunity to come to Japan."
