Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' Extended Version To Stream On Netflix

Mumbai, December 24 - Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action drama Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor has emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of all time with its phenomenal run at the worldwide box office.

Animal is one of the lengthiest Indian films ever with a theatrical runtime of 3 hours and 22 minutes. Director Sandeey Vanga has done an amazing job by never letting the film drag for a second despite the long runtime and now, the filmmaker is set to extend the runtime of the movie for its OTT version.



During a recent interview, Sandeep Vanga said that there is scope for an additional 9-10 minutes which he cut for the film's theatrical release but he will now include those minutes for its digital release. It means Animal will be streaming on Netflix with an extended runtime of 3 hours and 31 minutes in all versions.

The digital release of the film has not yet been revealed but reports say it will be available on Netflix at the end of January 2024 or early February. Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Netflix, going forward, will only stream censored films, so it will be interesting to see the platform's approach to Animal.

The film is produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, and it stars Ranbir Kapoor in the leading role alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, among others in key roles. The movie currently is in its 4th week of theatrical run and has grossed over 865 crores worldwide in just 23 days.
