Himesh Mankad conveyed the certification specifics for "Animal" in a post on X (formerly Twitter): “ANIMAL CERTIFIED A – ADULTS ONLY – BY CBFC – 3 HOURS 21 MINUTES! #RanbirKapoor is back as his first collaboration with #SandeepReddyVanga, #Animal, has been certified A by the censor board with an approved run time of 3 hours and 21 minutes."

Ranbir at the trailer launch
Ranbir Kapoor delved into the theme of violence in "Animal," stating, "Violence is a reflection of the mind, exploring what it thinks and what the human mind is capable of. It raises questions about morality in society – is Bobby sir the antagonist, or am I? Who is right, who is wrong? These are the inquiries that, as a society and audience, we'll begin grappling with after watching this film."
He put emphasis, that he remains a detached person and doesn't bring his characters home, as It’s not fair for my loved ones. He clarified that if he went home like his character from the film, his wife (Alia Bhatt) would have bashed him up.
Ranbir Kapoor revealed that during the filming of "Animal," he had recently become a father. He described the surreal experience of portraying a character deeply attached to his father on set and then returning home to be with his newborn daughter.
