Sandeep Vanga on his relationship with his mother
Sandeep Vanga was a guest on an episode of Indian Idol 15. During the show, he opened up about the perception that he doesn¡¯t give importance to mom roles in his work. Explaining this, the Animal director revealed that he shares a wonderful rapport with his mother and has ¡®no complaints¡¯ from the relationship. He added this is the reason he has never been compelled to write about the topic.
¡°I¡¯ve been criticized for not giving enough importance to the mother¡¯s role in my films, but I¡¯ve realized that in real life I am much more attached to my mother. But since we don¡¯t have any complaints in that relationship, there is no drama there or any angst that compels me to write about it. If I ever make a mother-son story, it will be very positive, nothing dark and only good vibes,¡± he said.
