In the wake of the recent blockbuster hit “Animal” by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the eagerly-awaiting OTT audience is in for a treat as Netflix secures the digital rights for the pan-India film. Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, the movie has crossed the ₹900 crore mark in collections since its theatrical release on December 1.
Sources reveal that Netflix is gearing up for an early streaming release of “Animal,” possibly hitting the platform before January 26, with a tentative release date scheduled for January 15. This strategic move aligns with the Sankranthi festival, catering to those who prefer celebrating the occasion in the comfort of their homes.
Despite the absence of an official announcement from Netflix, insiders suggest that the streaming giant is considering an accelerated release to coincide with the festive spirit. The move is seen as a response to the growing trend of audiences preferring OTT platforms, especially during festive seasons.
While “Animal” faced initial criticism for its story strength and screenplay execution, it managed to win over audiences with its impressive background music, memorable songs, and technical finesse. The Netflix release is expected to provide a second chance for viewers to appreciate the film’s redeeming qualities.
As the anticipation builds, fans are eagerly awaiting Netflix’s official announcement, hoping to catch the highly talked-about film earlier than originally planned.
