A Twitter user called it Baap of Animal. "According to new born Samosa @Its_CineHub , #Kill is the father of Animal.

Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat defends violence in the film

In conversation with Indian Express, the director addressed comparisons with Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal and said, "If Animal was criticised on one hand, it was also widely appreciated and was a huge blockbuster hit. As a filmmaker, I am always willing to experiment and push myself and my craft. I am a very greedy filmmaker, so if someone criticises it with a valid reason, I will definitely take learning points from the criticism. But having said this, Kill is a genre film. It¡¯s an extremely violent film, so if it gets criticised for violence, it¡¯s almost like a horror film being criticised for scaring people."
