The director of Animal, sandeep Reddy Vanga, had promised fans an extended edit on Netflix india, which included a major sequence between ranbir kapoor and bobby Deol. Fans were excited to relive the theatre experience and see the promised 'extended edit.' However, disappointment crept in when the Netflix india version ran for the same three hours and twenty-four minutes as the theatrical premiere.
Viewers especially missed ranbir kapoor and bobby Deol's expected kiss moment during the climatic battle on the runway. Vanga promised to incorporate the sequence in the OTT version. On the other hand, the social media craze around Animal took an exciting turn as it focused on the tantalizing material.
The emphasis switched to Rashmika, who was dressed just in a captivating bra. Furthermore, the graphic and personal scenes with tripti dimri took the front stage, leaving nothing to the imagination. The moments are popular among the youth, and they are expressing their 'feelings' on social media by posting footage. However, family audiences may have difficulty watching it in the living room.
The filmmakers did not release an expanded edit on Netflix. Netflix recently decided not to show any longer cuts of any films in order to avoid legal ramifications. Meanwhile, the OTT platform pulled a trick here. Animal's length is listed on the main page as 3 hours 24 minutes, but when you play it, the film is modified to its original theatrical runtime of 3 hours 21 minutes.
