Ranbir Kapoor's hairstyle in Animal was inspired by Michael Jackson reveals Aalim Hakim: 'He makes his entry with a...'
Ranbir Kapoor's last release, Animal, which released in December 2023, turned out to be a humongous blockbuster at the global box office. Despite being a huge money-spinner, the film was slammed for glorifying toxic masculinity and a misogynistic approach.
RK's look in the film was also a topic of discussion, and now hair stylist Aalim Hakim has revealed that his long hair and curls look was inspired by Michael Jackson.
'There were multiple looks in Animal . In that film, Vanga sir had told that the lead has long hair, but he had it in his younger days and then cut it off for his father and then upon return from America, he also has long hair. So both these long hair looks must be different. When I was told that the character is a fan of Michael Jackson, then it hit me, how he has this entire leather jacket-white t-shirt look. I cracked the look and took inspiration from Michael Jackson's curls and man bun for Ranbir,' said Aalim while talking to Hindi Rush.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
'I collected the iconic pictures of Michael Jackson and recreated that look. When people watched the film, they were not able to see that it is the same style. Now that I am saying it, one can see the similarities. Uski entry moonwalk pe hain (He makes his entry with a moonwalk),' he added.
Animal grossed over Rs 900 crore at the global box office. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the movie was bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Murad Khetani and Pranay Reddy Vanga under the banners of T-Series Films, Bhadrakali Pictures and Cine1 Studios. It also featured Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Suresh Oberoi, Prem Chopra, Shakti Kapoor, Upendra Limaye, Siddhant Karnick, Saloni Batra and Triptii Dimri in prominent roles.

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 3: Anurag Basu movie earnings soar 18%, inches closer to ₹20 crore mark
Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 3: Anurag Basu's romantic drama found it difficult to cross ₹ 10 crore mark at the domestic box office despite registering an 18 percent uptick in collection on Sunday, July 6. The filmmaker, who marked his return to the film industry after a hiatus of eight years, is finding it hard to impress the audience with the heartfelt narrative of four couples in a contemporary setting. Notably, this relationship drama has crossed the entire lifetime earnings of its prequel — 'Life In A Metro,' which collected ₹ 15.63 crore at the box office, Koimoi reported. Released on May 11, 2007, it missed the hit mark by a very small margin but proved to be a successful film. According to film industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie did a business of ₹ 7.08 crore net in India on its first Sunday, July 10. Wrapping up the weekend with a total collection of ₹ 16.58 crore net, the Bollywood movie witnessed 39.75 percent Hindi occupancy on Sunday. On Saturday, the film saw 71.43 percent increase in earnings and raked in ₹ 6 crore net. On its opening day, July 4, the movie collected ₹ 3.5 crore net. Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel in a post on X stated, '#MetroInDino continues its struggle on Day 2 - adding just ₹ 2.30 Cr over a dismal Friday ( ₹ 3.20 Cr nett) to collect a flat ₹ 5.50 Cr. A ₹ 10 Cr Saturday was the bare minimum for a respectable weekend total, but the film falls way short yet again.' At the worldwide box office, the Sara Ali Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma starrer collected ₹ 12.40 crore gross in 2 days, Sacnilk reported. A total of ₹ 1 crore gross came from overseas earnings. Produced by T-Series and Anurag Kashyap Films, the movie features an ensemble cast. Besides Sara Ali Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma, it features Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Saswata Chatterjee in key roles.
