Ranbir Kapoor on Animal’s lengthy runtime
At a recent press meet that took place in Bengaluru, Ranbir Kapoor was asked about Animal’s long runtime. He said, “We are not releasing a film this long because we are arrogant about it. We felt that the story required this amount of time to reach the audience in the best way possible.”
The actor further added, “And actually, all of us have seen the cut of this film which was 3 hours, 49 minutes, and that also held. Wo bhi entertaining tha. But Sandeep has worked very hard to bring the length down. Because you cannot stretch it that much also. But hope that the audience doesn’t get panicked by the length. Just come and experience cinema at its best.”
Animal is directed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Tripti Dimri, Saloni Batra and Suresh Oberoi. The film will release on December 1st, 2023.
