Furthermore, the CBFC order also suggests altering certain cuss words, and a word at 1 hour and 31 minutes to ‘Black and the word ‘vastra’ to be replaced with ‘costume’. Two unrevealed dialogues have been modified to “Kabhi nahin” and “Kya bol rahe ho aap”.

Moreover, the word ‘natak’ has been muted, and the subtitles were changed to “You change pads four times a month.”

Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Animal getting ‘A’ certificate
Notably, in an interview with The Hindu, Sandeep Reddy Vanga reacting to the A certificate stated that he is glad to get the certificate as the film is not under 18 kids.

He was quoted as saying, ‘As far as Animal is concerned, I’d like to say that I am glad it got an A certificate. It is not for anyone under the age of 18. I will not be taking my son Arjun, my brother’s kids or any of my cousin’s children to watch this film in the theaters. Maybe I will have another child-friendly cut of the film for them. I have children in my extended family between eight months and 17 years and this film is not for them.’

Animal will be releasing this Friday on December 1.
