Runtime For Animal Netflix Version: Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director behind the latest cinematic venture, Animal, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor has witnessed staggering success at the global box office. However, Vanga recently opened up about the hurdles encountered during the film’s release and shared regrets regarding post-production decisions.
In a candid interview with a prominent Bollywood critic, Vanga delved into the intense days leading up to the film’s release, describing them as ‘horrible.’ He revealed, “When I saw the film for the first time, I spotted a lot of problems. Content-wise, I felt there were issues with sound. What happened was, since we were releasing in five languages, I lost track of which language sound I was checking. The last 20 days were horrible. We slept in the mixing room for almost three to four days. That should not have happened; there should have been one more week. But I am correcting all those problems for the Netflix version, and we are planning to release a Blu-ray as well.”
During the interview, Vanga revealed a last-minute discovery of a sound issue just a day before the film’s release. Ranbir Kapoor reportedly played a calming role during this tense moment, assisting the director in navigating the stressful situation. He stated, “I’m currently editing the Netflix version, which 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.”
Looking ahead, Vanga is determined to resolve the identified issues for the Netflix version of Animal. His commitment to delivering an enhanced viewing experience for audiences reflects his dedication to cinematic excellence, despite the challenges faced during the release.
