New Delhi: ‘Animal’, which is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, became one of the most talked-about hits of the previous year. However, after its theatrical release, the film, which starred Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, did not receive positive reviews. Recently, in an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga attacked a critique made by Aamir Khan’s ex-wife, Kiran Rao.
Sandeep advised her to go see Aamir’s movie, ‘Dil’, in which he even threatens a female character with rape before they eventually fall in love.
Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga addressed the remarks by Aamir’s ex-wife Kiran Rao. He said in Hindi, “Today morning, my AD showed me an article. It is of the second ex-wife of a superstar. She is saying that films like Bahubaali 2 and Kabir Singh promote misogyny and stalking. I think she does not know the difference between stalking and approaching. When people read these things out of context, they tend to agree. This is entirely wrong.”
“Main kehna chahunga uss aurat ko ki jaake Aamir Khan ko pucho ‘Khambe jaisi khadi hai, Ladki hai ya fuljari hai’ woh kya tha? Then come back to me. That is, matlab, if you remember Dil, almost rape attempt tak leke jaake usko ehsaas jatata hai ki isne galat kiya. Aur usko pyar ho jata hai. Yeh sab kya hai? (I would like to say to that woman, ‘Go ask Aamir Khan, ‘Is she like a pillar, a girl, or a firecracker?’ What was that?” Then come back to me. If you remember Dil, he almost creates the situation towards an attempted rape, and it makes her realise that she was wrong. She ultimately falls in love. What is all this?) I don’t understand why they attack like that before checking the surroundings,” the director added.
Ranbir Kapoor played a vicious man named Ranvijay in the movie ‘Animal’. He goes on a killing spree, trying to get revenge on people who attempted to kill his estranged father (Anil Kapoor), in a bid to gain his approval. Bobby Deol portrayed the diabolical mute mobster Abrar Haque.
