"The film got very lengthy. It turned out to be a four-hour fifteen-minute film, so he (the director) had to cut it out. Hence, in this way, my two or three scenes were cut, which I thought were very good," shared the veteran actor.
Acknowledging the industry's dynamics, Prem Chopra admitted to his surprise that despite the reduction in screen time, the audience has embraced his performance wholeheartedly. "I still get views and information about it. I never expected that. I thought this was a special appearance, but the love is still pouring," Chopra added.
Reflecting on Animal's reception, the 88-year-old actor noted the film's substantial success. He acknowledged the divisive reactions, with some disapproving due to its violent content while others repeatedly watched it, making it a blockbuster. Fans from America, according to Chopra, celebrated the film in New York theaters, emphasizing its global impact.
Animal, also featuring Anil Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, hit the screens on December 1, marking its presence in the cinematic landscape.
