Vidya Balan on Animal success
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Vidya Balan doesn’t believe in the theory that “content is king.” Instead, she feels it is the conviction that plays the actual game in success. One may or may not agree with the content of Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, but what, according to her work, was no “second-guessing and “non-apologetic” approach.
Vidya Balan added, “There are different layers around the film (Animal). At the basic level, it was about the conviction with which the story was told. It didn’t let the audience drop the attention even for a second. You can agree and disagree with the film, but you know it was entertaining.”
