Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' Postponed; John Abraham's 'The Diplomat' To Release On This Date
Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Animal' has now been officially postponed while John Abraham's 'The Diplomat' has gotten a release date.
Fans have been eagerly waiting to see Ranbir Kapoor's gangster avatar on the big screen, however, the wait has gotten a little longer as the Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial has been postponed, and the movie will not be releasing on August 11. The movie will now be releasing on December 1, 2023. The news of the postponement was confirmed by trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
As a result, 'Animal' will not be clashing with 'OMG 2' and 'Gadar 2', and these two movies will now battle it out at the box office on August 11.
'Animal' will now be going up against 'Fukrey 3' and Vicky Kaushal's 'Sam Bahadur' on December 1.

Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga posted a video on social media, in which he explained the reason behind the postponement of 'Animal'.
“I’m making this video for two reasons. One is that I’m going to explain why we aren’t able to achieve the film release on August 11. And another one is that I’m going to announce the new release date. See, coming back to the topic of why we are not able to release the film on August 11, the only reason is, and it might sound like a generic answer, the quality. See, I’m not going to explain to you how the post-production work has been delayed as it might bore you. I’ll cut it short. I’ll give you one example," he said.
"For example, there are seven songs in the film, and when seven songs are multiplied by five languages, they become 35 songs with different sets of lyrics and singles, so it’s going to take a little more time than what I’ve actually put in for. I’ve lately realised this, or I wouldn’t have released the pre-teaser. Thank you so much for the pre-teaser response. A few of them said that it is not and will not be in the film, but it will be in the film; it is a cutout of a film episode. Thank you so much for the response," he added.

For the unversed, 'Animal' also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Triptii Dimri in lead roles. Last month, the makers had dropped a pre-teaser, which showed Ranbir Kapoor's fierce look as a gangster.
In other Bollywood news, the release date for John Abraham's 'The Diplomat' has been revealed. The movie will be releasing on January 11, 2024.
John Abraham made the official announcement on Instagram as he shared a fresh poster from the movie.
Sharing the poster, he wrote, “Some wars are fought even outside the battlefield. Prepare for a new kind of a hero as the high-octane drama “TheDiplomat” gets a release date!!”
'The Diplomat' has been directed by Shivam Nair. The film is being produced by T-Series, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar; John Abraham of JA Entertainment; Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde and Rajesh Bahl of Wakaoo Films; Sameer Dixit and Jatish Varma of Fortune Pictures, Rakesh Dang of Seeta Films.
John Abraham was last seen in Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Dimple Kapadia-starrer 'Pathaan'. The actor won a lot of praise for his role as the antagonist.
