Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Bollywood’s Critique of ‘Animal’ and Praise for Ranbir Kapoor

Published

on

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s contentious film, ‘Animal,’ featuring Ranbir Kapoor, has proven to be a box office hit. Despite its commercial success, the movie has faced criticism from various critics and industry figures for its portrayal of violence and toxic masculinity. The cast also includes Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Anil Kapoor in significant roles. In a recent interview, Vanga remarked that, even as Bollywood condemned the film, they praised Ranbir Kapoor’s performance.During his appearance on Komal Nahta’s YouTube channel, Game Changers, Vanga addressed the inconsistencies within the Hindi film industry. When questioned about the backlash against ‘Animal,’ he noted this disparity, stating, “I’ll tell you one thing: the film industry folks who heavily criticized ‘Animal’ all praised Ranbir, saying, ‘But Ranbir toh todd diya (Ranbir smashed it).’ I’m not jealous of Ranbir, but I just don’t comprehend this discrepancy. It seems they want to work with him. Kyunki agar Ranbir ko bolenge toh… (Because if they say something to Ranbir then…)”

He continued, “It’s easier for them to criticize me since I’m new here. Filmmakers create a film every couple of years, but actors appear in multiple films each year. So, they tend not to speak ill of those they collaborate with more frequently.”

When asked if he felt like an outsider in Bollywood, Vanga dismissed that idea, stating, “No, I don’t subscribe to the insider-outsider narrative. I’ve never felt like an outsider. There is a clear faction and a disparity, but this happens when a newcomer joins your established circle. It’s naturally uncomfortable at first,” he explained.

Vanga also revealed that an actor associated with ‘Kabir Singh’ was denied opportunities due to that association, highlighting the industry’s double standards. He challenged others to hold major stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, or Triptii Dimri to the same scrutiny.

Looking ahead, the film is set to receive a sequel titled ‘Animal Park,’ and Vanga is planning a trilogy. At the Red Sea Film Festival, Ranbir Kapoor shared his thoughts on the upcoming installments, saying, “Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director, has flirted with ideas for how he wants to progress the story over three parts. The second installment is called ‘Animal Park.’ We’ve been exchanging concepts from the first film and discussing how to take the story forward. It’s very exciting because I’ll have the chance to play both the antagonist and the protagonist. This project is intriguing, especially with such an original director at the helm, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”
