Suresh Oberoi, who acted as Ranbir Kapoor's grandfather in Animal, applauded the actor as "well-behaved" and "dignified person." Suresh Oberoi told Lehren Retro, "Ranbir is a wonderful guy and a wonderful actor and so very well-behaved. He has been given good values by Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. I sent a message to Neetu saying, 'Apne bahut aache sanskar diye hai apne bete ko (You have given good values to your son).' He knows exactly how to behave, like a dignified person." Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal has been storming the box office since it released on December 1.
Earlier, Shakti Kapoor, also praised Ranbir Kapoor as a wonderful actor. Shakti Kapoor, who shares a cordial relationship with Rishi Kapoor's family told ETimes, "Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) was one day younger than me. His relationship with his son was amazing. They loved each other. Both our families were close and when our kids were younger, we even went to holidays together. I only wish Chintu were alive to witness the success his son has achieved. I proudly call his son one of the best actors in the industry." FYI, Shakti Kapoor plays the character of PK Mishra who is the COO of Anil Kapoor's steel company Swastik Steels.
