Animal OTT release: Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna film to premiere on Netflix; know the date

One among the several X users wrote, “I'm waiting for this movie.”

Another added, “Salute the champion. Make way for the biggest movie of the year.”

“Extended cut or Theatrical”, exclaimed another.

Meanwhile, the OTT release of Animal came as a surprise to many after a reported dispute between the co-producers -- CINE 1 Studios Private Limited and T Series. The co-producers were tangled over an alleged contractual breach, wherein both parties informed the Delhi High Court about their agreement. Following the resolution, the OTT release of the film has been made possible.

While viewers were looking forward to an extended cut of the film on OTT, it has now been revealed that there will be no added scenes, reported India Today.

Earlier, Netflix released an extended cut of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan while other OTT giants like Disney Plus Hotstar released a similar version of Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra Part One: Shiva.

Besides Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, Animal features an ensemble cast of Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Triptii Dimri in major roles. The plot of the film revolves around a complex relationship between a father and a son.

Animal made its worldwide theatrical premiere on December 1, 2023. It garnered a significant response from the viewers and was a smash hit at the box office.
