While explain why she has not watched RRR and Animal, Ratna said that as for Animal she got scared after looking at the post itself.

¡°Frankly, I have not seen RRR and Animal. I tried watching RRR but I didn¡¯t watch the entire film. I can accept that many people have liked and appreciated RRR but it is not to my taste. However, I didn¡¯t feel the need to watch Animal; I saw its poster and its mood and I got scared, felt distanced. Then I heard such things about it¡­ so I didn¡¯t watch it. I can imagine the sort of film it is,¡± the actor said.
