Sandeep Reddy Vanga, in a recent interview with The Hindu, said that the first cut on Animal was alsmost close to 4 hours. “The first cut of Animal was 3 hours 45 or 46 minutes. I chopped till 3:21. I have seen the film multiple times and it is an engaging film. Ranbir is a great performer and will not let the audience relax for a second,” he said.

Vanga has been very appreciative of Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in the film and at the pre-release event in Hyderabad, he said. “Ranbir might be younger to me but when I see him performing, I feel like touching his feet and taking his blessings. I haven’t seen anyone with so much patience.”
