Speaking with OTT Play at the Kolkata International Film Festival, Anurag said, “You cannot force responsibility on anyone. People take responsibility for themselves or they don’t. How many people went and watched a film that you considered to be feminist? Only a handful of people watch them and underline if it was a real feminist film or a pseudo-feminist film. A film like Animal has galvanised more feminists in this country than any other feminist film. It has created more discussion around misogyny than any other film. So it is doing something good.”
Anurag added that one needs a provocateur in a society.

“You need a provocateur in a society for people to understand. More people were taught feminism because of Animal and the discussions around it. Why are you scared of a provocateur? We are educated and learned people. Why are we afraid of someone who provokes us? I think being provoked is a good thing. I have always tried to make films to make people uncomfortable, as a filmmaker. When I made Ugly, I wanted people to go back and not sleep that night,” the director concluded.
Animal stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri among others in pivotal roles. It released in cinemas on December 1.
