Ranbir Kapoor names Jailer, Leo and Vikram as his top three favourite films of the year: ‘It’s very inspiring’
While promoting Animal in Chennai, Ranbir Kapoor praised South cinema and named Jailer, Leo and Vikram as his top three favourite films of the year.

During his recent promotional tour in Chennai and Bengaluru for the upcoming film Animal, Ranbir Kapoor shared his admiration for the South Indian film industry, particularly singling out three Tamil films as his favourites from the past year and a half.
Expressing his respect for the dynamic cinema from the South, Ranbir said at a press meet in Chennai, “It’s great to be back in Chennai. I want to congratulate you for an amazing year in the Indian film industry. I think three of my favourite films made in India in the last one-and-a-half-years have been from the Tamil film industry. These being Jailer, Leo and Vikram. So congratulations on that.”
Acknowledging the immense fan frenzy and the impactful entry of stars in South cinema, the Animal actor said, “Looking at the craze for the heroes and heroines, I think it is very inspiring to watch. As an actor you aspire for that, and when you see Rajini sir’s entry, or Thalapathy Vijay, or all the great stars like Kamal Haasan sir, or Ajith sir. You see that their audience, their fans just love them so much, and I believe that is just very inspiring to watch.”
On the subject of his upcoming film Animal, Ranbir Kapoor highlighted director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s efforts to create a movie with a pan-Indian appeal. He said, “Sandeep and the entire team has worked really hard in the dubbing of the film to make it seem like a film that the Tamil speaking audience will enjoy. So, you don’t have to make a remake of this film. See this film as an original.”
Animal also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Shakti Kapoor, Triptii Dimri and Prem Chopra in pivotal roles. The film will hit theatres on December 1, and will clash with Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur.
