 "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.
“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.
