In 'Animal', Ranbir Kapoor's astonishing performance as a more mature and heavier character sees the use of a masterfully designed silicone fat suit. This innovative prosthetic not only replicates the natural movement of skin but also grounds the film in a striking realism that resonated with audiences, propelling its box office triumph.
Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation in ‘Animal’ did not come from gym tricks or camera angles alone. It came from a carefully built silicone fat suit that helped sell his older, heavier phase on screen.
A behind-the-scenes video that recently went viral shows the process in quick, revealing flashes. The suit is fitted, finished, and blended until Kapoor’s body reads as naturally heavier, not padded. The result shocked many viewers because it looked convincing even in close shots, under harsh lights, and during movement.
Ranbir Kapoor silicone fat suit in 'Animal' explained
According to Money Control, the clips circulating online show what fans now call the silicone Animal look.
It refers to the prosthetic bodysuit Kapoor wore to play the older dad-bod version of his character. Unlike basic foam padding, silicone behaves more like skin. It bends, shifts, and settles with the actor’s body.That difference matters. In the footage, the belly and chest do not sit stiffly on top of Kapoor. They move with him. The weight looks lived-in, not costume-heavy. That realism is why the transformation lands so strongly on screen.
