Not everyone likes Anurag Kashyap movies. He once said that he loves making people uncomfortable through his films and putting them into thoughts. When the filmmaker watched Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, he also had many questions just like everyone else.?Recently, he met with the director and got all his answers. Now, praising him he said Vanga is misunderstood.?
"Had a great evening with @sandeepreddy.vanga. The most misunderstood, judged and reviled Filmmaker at the moment. To me, he is the most honest, vulnerable and lovely human being. And I really don¡¯t give a f*** what anyone thinks of him or his film," he said and added that they discussed about Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. He said, "I wanted to meet the man and I had questions and he answered everything I asked of him about his film that I actually saw twice. Thank you for being patient and being yourself."
Just like Karan Johar, the Gangs Of Wasseypur filmmaker also watched the movie twice. "Forty days since I first saw ANIMAL and 22 days since I saw it the second time. The biggest game changer in Hindi cinema in the longest time and a film whose impact (good or bad) can¡¯t be denied. And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin. Great evening spent with him."
Taking to the comments section, Indian actor and social media influencer Satish Ray compared Anurag Kashyap and Sandeep Reddy Vanga to Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. He wrote, "Sachin Tendulkar meets Virat Kohli. Sandeep Reddy Vanga has the same effect on me as Anurag Kashyap had on me 10 years ago. The rawness, the anger and the spine same as Kashyap. My two gods meeting. I am the happiest right now."
Akhtar who has written movies like Zanjeer and Sholay along with Salim Khan said that the success of a film like Animal is dangerous for the society. "If there¡¯s a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe, if a man says it¡¯s okay to slap a woman¡and the film is a super hit, that¡¯s dangerous," he was quoted as saying.? ?
In response, the official Twitter handle of the movie said, "Writer of your calibre cannot understand the betrayal of a lover (Between Zoya and Ranvijay) then all your art form is big FALSE and if a woman (betrayed and fooled by a man in the name of love) would have said 'lick my shoe' then you guys would have celebrated it by calling it feminism. Let love be free from the politics of gender. Let's just call them lovers. LOVER cheated and lied. LOVER said lick my shoe. Period."
