According to reports, Animal is said to be exceeding the 3-hour mark. Reportedly, the film's theatrical runtime is 3 hours 21 minutes. However, IMDb's data states that the duration is 3 hours 2 minutes. Certain reports also claim that the film will have two intervals. There's no official confirmation from the makers yet.
Animal also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Tripti Dimri. Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar's T-Series, Murad Khetani's Cine1 Studios and Pranay Reddy Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures are producing the film. The crime drama will release in theatres on December 1, 2023. Animal will be released in multiple languages. It revolves around the complex father-son relationship between Ranbir and Anil.
A special teaser of Animal was cut and displayed on the facade of the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, on Friday. Ranbir, Bobby and the makers of the film were present to witness the glorious sight with fans.
During a virtual interaction with fans, Ranbir talked about Animal and said, "This is the darkest film I have done because I am not playing any psycho killer in it. It is just the character, his mind, and the way he operates. His psyche is very dark. It is not somebody who I am or can relate to. It was very interesting for me to play him on screen because it was a very new, original character. I am glad I collaborated with Sandeep on this because I got a lot from him, about heroism, about characters, and about a grey part like this."
