Sandeep Reddy Vanga Slams Kiran Rao: Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film ‘Animal’ premiered in theaters on December 1, 2023, garnering varied reactions from both fans and critics.
Despite this, the movie achieved immense success at the box office. However, upon its release on OTT platforms, ‘Animal’ encountered criticism for allegedly glorifying misogyny and toxic masculinity. Addressing these concerns, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga referred to an interview where Kiran Rao expressed her disapproval of the film.
Without naming Kiran Rao, Vanga mentioned her ex-husband Aamir Khan’s 1990 movie ‘Dil’. He said, “One of my ADs saw that article today and spoke to me. Main kehna chahunga uss aurat ko ke jaake Aamir Khan ko pucho ‘Khambe jaisi khadi hai, Ladki hai ya fuljari hai’ woh kya tha? Then come back to me. This is, matlab, is 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 takes the situation to an attempted rape, and it makes her realise that she was wrong. And she falls in love. What is all this?) I don’t know why they attack like that before checking the surroundings.
