In the certificate leaked online, one of the pointers reads, “Modified the intimate visuals of Vijay and Zoya by deleting the close-up shots at TCR 02:28:37.”

The directive hints that Ranbir and Rashmika’s characters might be named Vijay and Zoya. Sandeep reddy Vanga had already hinted that the duo with share a few intimate scenes when he released the song, Hua Main. Apart from this directive, the Censor Board has also asked the filmmaker to replace the hindi word vastra with costume.

Meanwhile the director said he was happy that Animal has got an A certificate and as the film is made only for adults. He added that he will not be taking his own son to watch the film.

Animal is spread across a duration of 3 hours 23 minutes. Speaking about the length, the filmmaker said, “The first cut of Animal was 3 hours 45 or 46 minutes. I chopped till 3:21. I have seen the film multiple times and it is an engaging film. Ranbir is a great performer and will not let the audience relax for a second. My job is done when the producer is confident of getting his money back with some profit.”
