It has been 13 days since 'Animal' release and the fever is still on. It has been grabbing the headlines for various reasons. The film has been criticised a lot for showing toxic masculinity, too much violence, sex, bad treatment of women and whatnot. However, Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri and others are praised for their performances. Bobby who plays a mute villain, Abrar Haque has left a mark with his stellar act.
There is a climax fight scene between Abrar and Ranbir's Ranvijay Singh that has become the talk of the town. Speaking about the scene to The Quint, Bobby revealed that estranged cousins Abrar and Ranvijay were supposed to kiss each other in the scene but it was later edited out by director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
Bobby Deol also revealed that 'kiss' might be shown in the OTT version of 'Animal'.
The actor said that Netflix's version might have the kiss scene. He quoted Sandeep saying, “He said, ‘You’re fighting, and you suddenly kiss him, and then you don’t give up, and he kills you’.''
''But he removed the kiss. There was a kiss. I think it might come on the uncut Netflix version. After saying all this, he said, ‘You’re mute’,” Bobby added.
He also spoke about how Sandeep executed the climax scene. “Both their families love each other. We are family. There is love for each other's brothers. But that moment was also Sandeep's idea. We were doing the fight sequence, practicing for it, and then he said, ‘You know what Bobby, I want you to punch him and lie on top of him'. It was more about me being powerful. Obviously, the hero always wins in the end. And the shot of me unzipping, it was his idea. He brings that alpha thing to every character,'' said Bobby.
For the unversed, a scene from the climax of the film features Bobby lying on top of Ranbir.
Reportedly, 'Animal; will be released on Netflix in January 2024.
