Ranbir Kapoor's Clean-Shaven Look, Drastic Weight Loss After Animal Leaves Fans Stunned
Last Updated: Fresh off the shoot for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, Ranbir has shifted gears to begin prep for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming romantic saga Love and War. Ranbir Kapoor is making headlines again and it's not for his film performances, but jaw-dropping transformation. The actor, who had bulked up and sported a rugged beard for his intense role in Animal, was recently spotted looking drastically leaner and completely clean-shaven. The video of his new look has now taken the internet by storm. Fresh off the shoot for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, Ranbir has shifted gears to begin prep for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming romantic saga Love and War. In a viral clip circulating online, the actor is seen in the city sporting a fresh, clean-shaven face and a slick hairstyle, noticeably slimmer than his Animal avatar. Dressed casually in a red tee and denim from his personal label, Ranbir waved at the paparazzi, posed for pictures, and even handed his cap to one of the photographers before stepping into his car. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Fans who were used to seeing his wild, bearded look in Animal were stunned by the dramatic change. In Animal, Ranbir played the ferocious Ranvijay Singh, whose violent journey begins when his father Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor) is threatened. The film followed his descent into violence and eventual confrontation with his cousin Abrar Haque (Bobby Deol). It ended with a cliffhanger, setting up Animal Park, the upcoming sequel. Interestingly, Ranbir's grungy look in Animal almost didn't happen. Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim recently revealed that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga was initially against the idea of long hair and beard, fearing it looked too much like Ranbir's appearance in Sanju. 'Had Ranbir's hair and beard not been long in Animal, I don't think his character would have the same impact," Aalim told Galatta India. 'Vanga sir initially said the long hair isn't working… I had to convince him that once the full look was in place, it wouldn't resemble Sanju." Despite criticism for its perceived misogynistic tone, Animal was a blockbuster, earning over Rs 915 crore globally. With Love and War now on the horizon, Ranbir's latest transformation has sparked fresh curiosity about what's in store next. First Published: June 05, 2025, 23:29 IST
