It is happening. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's highly polarised film Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead is getting a digital release. The film will be releasing on OTT platform Netflix on January 26.&nbsp; 
 
The controversial film, which was high on violence, earned over Rs 9 billion worldwide and was one of the biggest hits of the year. Animal also stars Bobby Deol and Tripti Dimri in crucial roles.&nbsp; 
 
Rumours had it that the film would have an extended cut in its OTT version. Reports now confirm that the OTT release will be a few minutes longer than the original theatrical release, generating renewed excitement among fans.&nbsp; 
 
The film was 3 hours 21 minutes long when it was released theatrically. As it releases on OTT, the film will have an additional 8 minutes- extending the total runtime to 3 hours and 29 minutes.&nbsp; 
 
Reports suggest that this extended version will feature an added scene of Rashmika Mandanna- adding a fresh layer to the narrative. Rashmika plays Geetanjali, Ranbir's wife in the film.&nbsp; 
 
Rumours of the film's extended cut started floating after the film's director Sandeep Reddy Vanga in an interview&nbsp;revealed about including deleted scenes for the OTT version of the film.&nbsp;

Expressing regrets over the cuts in the theatrical release, Vanga said, "Now, I will be using those 5-6 minutes extra," and hinted at a more comprehensive storytelling experience for the audience. 
&nbsp; 
While the film did massive business and was called one of the major blockbusters in India in 2023, it was also criticised for its portrayal of violence and misogyny.&nbsp; 
 
The film's OTT release clashes with the theatrical release of Fighter featuring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the lead. Both films have Anil Kapoor in common. Fighter, helmed by Siddharth Anand, releases on January 25.&nbsp;
