Vanga Going Against Netflix Policy

Since the theatrical release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Animal,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, the film has faced widespread criticism despite its significant box-office success.

While the movie is celebrated as Kapoor’s notable cinematic achievement, concerns about perceived misogyny and toxic masculinity have fueled the negative reviews. Despite the backlash, the film has performed exceptionally well commercially.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga has been incessantly giving interviews to leading Bollywood journalists for the past few days. In his latest interview, he shed light on Animal’s Netflix release.

Vanga revealed, “I’m currently editing the Netflix Version it will have a few more shots, I should’ve kept the 3-hour 30-minute version but due to pressure I had to cut 8-9 minutes. I’m using that footage for the Netflix Version of Animal.”

In the past, Vanga had said that he didn’t succumb to pressure from the distributors to cut down the runtime of the film. But now he admitted that he was forced to cut 8-9 minutes of the film to accommodate more shows.

In a recent development, Netflix announced that it would only release the theatrical version of any film and not add any extra scenes in the name of an extended cut.

However, Vanga expressed his intent to unveil an extended version of “Animal” on the streaming platform. We will have to wait and see how Animal will eventually turn out on Netflix.
