The intense action drama “Animal,” starring Ranbir Kapoor and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, roared into theaters in December, becoming a box office success despite stirring controversy among some critics and viewers. Now, fans can prepare to revisit the tumultuous father-son saga as it premieres on Netflix on January 26th.
Director Vanga had previously hinted at adding cut scenes to the OTT version, but with Netflix’s recent policy against extended cuts, it remains unclear if the digital release will offer any new footage.
