Animal - Bobby Deol talks about the edited 'kiss' between Ranbir Kapoor and him; will it be in the extended version on OTT?

The Sandeep Reddy film Animal has made over Rs 700 crore at the box office worldwide in just a few days of its theatrical release. The bond between a father and son, who eventually turns into a wicked criminal, is the central theme of the movie. The plot makes it obvious that the Censor Board awarded it an adult certificate. While the movie collection continues to rise, new behind-the-scenes information is doing rounds on social media.

We previously reported on Bobby Deol's revelation that he came up with the popular dance during his performance of the song Jamal Kudu. He has now revealed another exciting detail from the film.

Deol's character, Abrar, fights shirtless Ranbir Kapoor's Ranvijay on an airstrip as the crime epic comes to a conclusion. In an interview with The Quint, Bobby revealed another significant scene that Vanga left out of the theatrical version, but he hinted that it might be added in the eventual Netflix version, which is anticipated to run even longer than the movie's current 201 minutes.

Bobby recalled Vanga telling him about Abrar that these two brothers are in love with one another, but they also want to kill each other. So Vanga planned to film the climax sequence as a love-themed song played in the background.

Bobby added that "there was a kiss" between the two characters as well. “He said, ‘You’re fighting, and you suddenly kiss him, and then you don’t give up, and he kills you’. But he removed the kiss. There was a kiss. I think it might come on the uncut Netflix version. After saying all this, he said, ‘You’re mute’.”

Despite becoming one of the year's biggest hits and earning over Rs 700 crore globally, some viewers have criticized Animal for how it portrays women and for allegedly promoting destructive masculine behavior.
