Sandeep Reddy Vanga animal It has been a hot topic since it was released in theaters.Starring Ranbir Kapoor ‘ has become a hot topic at the box office, and has received a variety of reactions, including negative ones, from audiences. Certain scenes and dialogues from the film sparked debate on social media. Now, director Anurag Kashyap has said that “educated” people should not be offended by watching films like Animal.

In an interview with News18 Showsha, Kashyap revealed that he has not yet seen ‘Animal’ and said that he is aware of the conversations going on online. The filmmaker said:No one has the right to tell filmmakers what kind of movies they should and shouldn’t make. People in this country get angry as soon as they see a movie. They also get upset about my movies. But I expect educated people to not be offended by the drop of a hat. ”

He further added, “This debate also happened during the time of Kabir Singh. Filmmakers have the right to make the films they want to make and express what they want to express. We should not criticize them. You can argue, you can argue, you can disagree. Films either provoke or evoke. There is nothing wrong with filmmakers who make films that are provocative.”

According to Anurag Kashyap, morality is highly subjective and 80 percent of Indian men resemble Kabir Singh. The filmmaker also pointed out the problems with Kabir Singh and said, “The only problem with that movie was that the other characters had no agency. They were only used to support the central character.” It’s a necessary discussion. There should be a healthy discussion. We can’t just stop and cancel each other out.”

Kashyap is looking forward to watching the movie Animal and plans to talk to the director after watching it. Dev D’s director prefers direct communication and has stated that if he has a problem with a film, he always calls the filmmakers on social media rather than discussing it in the media.
