Animal marks Sandeep reddy Vanga’s second directorial venture in Bollywood, after shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh. Animal marks the first collaboration between sandeep and Ranbir. The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on december 1. Ranbir Kapoor’s film Animal has been cleared by the Censor Board but with a few changes. The Central Board of Film Certification gave the film an Adults Only (A) certificate and asked director Sandeep reddy Vanga to make five changes. One of the changes they have asked the team do is reduce the length intimate scenes. 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.”

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.”
