Animal: OTT Version Will Have Extra 30 Minute Foootage

Speaking about the lengthy runtime of the film, Ranbir Kapoor said, “The story of Animal requires this amount of time to reach the audience, we saw the first cut that was 3 hours and 49 mins and we were entertained, dont be panicked by the length & just come experience cinema at its best.”

Initially, the team planned to release the same version in theatres with two intervals as they felt the story needed that runtime and it was very engaging. However, this was a risky move and distributors wanted to play it safe so the makers edited a few scenes and made the final runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes for the theatrical version.

The extended runtime of the film on OTT is anticipated to be well-received by fans and audiences who are eager to experience the complete story. Runtime concerns are not expected to be an issue for the OTT release of “Animal.” Starring Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and others, the movie has generated significant excitement not only in Hindi but also in Telugu and Tamil markets, with massive openings anticipated.
