After the theatrical release of 'Animal', get ready for the OTT version of Ranbir Kapoor's movie. One of the year's biggest hits, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is currently being edited once more in preparation for a fall Netflix release.
The duration of the film - 3 hours and 21 minutes - was a hot topic of conversation prior to its premiere. According to the director, there will be additional scenes added to the OTT version that he had to cut from the theatrical release due to pressure, making it even longer.
In an interview, Vanga said that the last few days before the release were so hectic that they had to sleep in the mixing room. “When I saw the film for the first time, I spotted a lot of problems. Content wise, I felt there were problems with sound. What happened was, since we were releasing in five languages, I lost track of which language sound I was checking. 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” he said.
Talking about the movie's OTT version, the director said that he's working on the OTT version, which will be 5-6 minutes longer. “I was editing the version because there were some problems in 1-2 shots. I’m using different and a few more shots from the same take. One thing I felt was I should have left the 3 hours 30 minutes instead of 3 hours 21 minutes. I don’t know why I edited those 8-9 minutes. Now, I will be using those 5-6 minutes extra,” the filmmaker said.
