But the experience of watching a movie can keep you hooked. ”
Commenting on the criticism leveled at the film, Saurabh said: “I was having a discussion in my office about alpha males. Women had a certain point of view, men had a certain point of view. Even men thought differently. Sometimes you could lean towards one side. He may lean to the other side, though. I haven’t decided yet, but any art that stimulates discussion is fine. People say he’s an alpha male, but from what I understand, he’s an alpha male. A man is a leader who takes care of people. But in Animal, he doesn’t take his father, grandfather, or wife with him. Is he struggling with something else? He’s under the mask. Is he hiding? Of course he has a past with his father, but who is he? Is he someone pretending to be an alpha male, or is he actually an alpha male?
