Khushboo weighs in on animal controversy, says it’s not Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s fault: ‘People go to see these kinds of movies’ Bollywood News
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s movie Animal ‘ has recently become a hot topic, with actors from various film industries expressing their thoughts on the Ranbir Kapoor starrer. The film was criticized for its misogynistic content, but it caught the attention of director Khushboo Sundar, who surprisingly did not criticize him.
Speaking at ‘Witt: Female Protagonist – The New Hero’, Khushboo said it was worrying that a film like ‘Animal’ was doing so well. It makes her question where our society is heading.
she said: “The first thing I want to say in this room is that I haven’t seen the movie ‘Animal’ yet because it’s not my cup of tea. Movies like ‘Animal’ will continue to be one of the biggest box office hits. If so, we really need to think about the mindset of people who go to see such films. Even before that, we had a big problem with Kabir Singh. I think what is important for a director is success. So I don’t blame the director.”
The actor continued, “But what I’m talking about is a public that talks about gender equality, talks about equal respect for women, talks about a woman’s dignity, talks about how she should be projected. It’s about whether there’s something in the room, how she should be respected. And yet, when you come across a movie like Animal, people flock to see these kinds of movies. And they… They’re all young people. They’re educated young people. ‘Oh, we love this movie.’ So I said, ‘Guys, what’s going on in your head? ” he says. ”
Khushboo didn’t want her daughters to watch the movie. But they saw it. But when he came back, he said, “Mom, don’t look.” They were worried about what they saw. This made Khushboo start thinking about people who watch these kinds of films over and over again. She thinks their mindset needs to change.
Also starring Rashmika Mandana, Anil Kapoor and Tripti Dimri in important roles, ‘Animal’ grossed over Rs 900 crore worldwide.
