When the pre-teaser for Animal dropped along with the release date of August 11, 2023, fans got the assurance that the beast would be unleashed in just a matter of time. However, lately, there have been speculations making the rounds that the film starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role has been postponed, much to the dismay of the fans. Now, the director of Animal Sandeep Reddy Vanga, took to his social media pages and shared a video confirming the news of the movie's postponement.

He started the video by saying, "I'm making this video for two reasons. One is that I'm going to explain why we aren't able to achieve the film release on August 11. Another one is here, and I'm going to announce the new release date."

The filmmaker further said, "See, coming back to the topic of why we are able to release the film on August 11, the only reason is that it might sound like a generic answer, but the fact is that it is the only quality. See, I'm not going to explain to you how the post-production work has been delayed. So it might bore you. I'll cut it short. I'll give you one example. For example, there are seven songs in the film, and when seven songs are multiplied by five languages, they become 35 songs with different sets of lyrics and singles, so it's going to take a little more time than what I've actually put in for. I've lately realised this, or I wouldn't have released the pre-teaser. Thank you so much for the pre-teaser response. A few of them said that it is not and will not be in the film, but it will be in the film; it is a cutout of a film episode. Thank you so much for the response."

Giving details of the songs, Vanga added, "Coming back to the songs, whatever kind of lyrical value is achieved in Hindi, I need to give the same kind of lyrical value in all different languages. For that, I really need to spend energy, time, and everything else to get it into all different languages, because when it gets released in all different languages, I don't want you to get the feeling that it's a Hindi film dubbed into a Tamil or Telugu film. So it has to be like the regional cinema. So for that, we are taking time, and there's no other reason."

Announcing the new release date, the director went on to say, "The most favourable date that we have found is December 1 this year. All I can promise you is that we will have the best quality on December 1. In terms of the video, audio, and everything. This is a big film, not just in terms of the star cast; it's also rich in content. It's a very emotional film."

Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles.
