6. Adnan Sami

Instagram

In a long post on Instagram, Adnan Sami requested people not to judge a film. "Can people pls stop over analysing, over thinking & over ¡®moral-policing¡¯ films? ITS-JUST-A-FILM!!! It¡¯s a fantasy¡­ It¡¯s entertainment!! If you¡¯re looking for logic then also tell me the logic behind the illogical blood donation scene that featured in Amar Akbar Anthony. Three sons of a mother donate blood to her at the same time through a singular tube! That movie is hailed as a cult classic & rightly so because we all love it! Explain the morality shown in Deewaar or the logic behind ¡¯Thakur¡¯ beating the crap out of Gabbar in the climax of Sholay with just his feet & no hands!! That too is an incredible classic which we love!! The Godfather has us rooting for the bad guys again¡­ Quentin Tarantino is considered a genius who has made a career out of gore!! We loved Al Pacino in ¡®Scarface¡¯!! If a movie is given an ¡®A¡¯ rating it means that only an adult can see it because an ¡®adult¡¯ is mature & educated enough to understand between what is right & wrong morally & thus would not get negatively impacted or influenced by the content of the film! So just chill watch the movie; get entertained & go home! And, NO, I haven¡¯t seen ¡®Animal¡¯ as yet but will always defend the right of a creative artist to express what they want to in any form of ¡®art¡¯. We as an audience have the right to like it or reject it as per our aesthetics! But it is important for us all to co-exist along with a ¡®live & let live¡¯ policy!! No one is forcing you to watch or hear anything; similarly don¡¯t force your opinions on others, especially when those people are presenting a fantasy!! ITS-JUST-A-FILM," he said.

7. Sunny Deol

On Instgaram, Sunny Deol praised Animal and brother Bobby Deol's performance by writing, "My little brother has shaken the world All gus firing success to #Animal."

8. Dharmendra

For his son Bobby Deol who plays the villain in the movie, the veteran actor wrote, "My talented Bob (evil eyes amulet and heart emojis)."

9. Esha Deol

Esha Deol posted a photo of brother Bobby Deol and wrote on Instagram Stories, "Way to go. Smashing performance and success bhaiya (brother)."
