In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga addressed a crucial question about the film’s OTT version. Sandeep responded candidly when asked if Animal would have an extended cut on OTT. He revealed, “I think I’ve removed some 5–6 minutes which I felt was not needed, so I think it is not needed for the OTT also because it’s not like this one is a brilliant scene which was not fitting, and we removed it so.”
During the interview, Bhushan Kumar, the producer of Animal, shed light on the possibility of utilizing deleted scenes. He remarked, “We may use deleted scenes…we can put it (on the handle).” This suggests that while an extended cut may not be on the cards, viewers can still anticipate additional content through deleted scenes.
In a separate revelation, Sandeep Vanga Reddy shared insights into his enduring collaboration with T-series’ head honcho, Bhushan Kumar. With Animal being the latest addition to their cinematic journey, the director unveiled plans for five more collaborations with T-Series. This revelation hinted at an exciting lineup of projects in the pipeline.
All in all, Animal is gearing up for its theatrical release on December 1, 2023. Soon after, those unable to catch the film in theaters can watch it from the comfort of their home.
