Runtime of Animal

At a press conference held yesterday evening in Bengaluru, Ranbir Kapoor shed light on the decision-making behind the extended duration of the film, as chosen by filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga and the Animal team. Ranbir Kapoor said, “We are releasing a film this long not because we feel arrogant about it. We felt that the story required that time to reach the audience in the best way possible. We have seen a cut of this film which was 3 hours and 49 minutes. And that cut was also entertaining.”

“Sandeep has worked very hard to bring the length down. We are hoping that the audience doesn’t get panicked by the length and experience cinema at its best,” Ranbir said.

Reportedly, Animal is one of the longest Indian films ever made with a runtime of 201 minutes (about 3 and a half hours).
