Anurag Kashyap Stands by ‘Animal,’ Argues 80% of Indian Men Resemble ‘Kabir Singh’

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film ‘Animal’ is making waves at the box office, gaining attention for its commercial success. However, it hasn’t escaped the intense scrutiny on social media, sparking debates about its portrayal of misogyny and violence. Ranbir Kapoor, in the role of Ranvijay Singh, depicts a character consumed by devotion to his on-screen father, played by Anil Kapoor. Throughout the narrative, Ranbir’s character exhibits a concerning disregard for others, particularly his wife, evident in derogatory remarks.

In the midst of this controversy, director Anurag Kashyap has come forward to support Vanga. In an interview with a leading media outlet, Kashyap addressed the social media backlash, stating, ‘Nobody has the right to tell a filmmaker what kind of films they should and shouldn’t make.’ He acknowledged the heated discussions surrounding ‘Animal’ and remarked, ‘People in this country get easily offended with films. They get offended with my films too. But I expect educated people to not get offended at the drop of a hat.’

Commenting on the morality debate sparked by the film, Kashyap asserted that 80 percent of Indian men are comparable to the character Kabir Singh. He drew parallels with a similar discourse during the release of ‘Kabir Singh’ and defended filmmakers’ right to create any film they desire. Kashyap underlined the significance of artistic freedom in the industry, emphasizing that filmmakers should not be constrained in their creative expression.
