After Kabir Singh, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s new film Animal has created havoc not only in the theatres but also at the box office. After hitting the big screens on December 1, it collected Rs 201.76 crore on its first weekend. At the same time, it is also facing a massive clash with Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur. While the film is making a stupendous collection at the ticket windows, it is also being criticized for its problematic plot that glorifies misogyny and toxic masculinity. Now, the latest one to defend the film is Anurag Kashyap.
Kashyap has often been criticized owing to the films and series he has helmed in the past. In a recent interview, Anurag opined on ‘provocative cinema’ and roared that a director shouldn’t be told what or what not to show in a film. For the unversed, the RK starrer is walking the path of Kabir Singh, which was also subjected to massive backlash.
During his recent interview with News18 Showsha, when Anurag Kashyap was asked about the criticism Animal is receiving, he slammed and said nobody has the right to tell filmmakers what kind of films they should or shouldn’t make. The filmmaker, who is yet to watch Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial, says he’s aware of the conversation happening online about the film, adding that people get easily offended by films. However, he expects educated people not to get offended.
