New Delhi: Sandeep Vanga Reddy's 'Animal,' starring Ranbir Kapoor released on December 1, 2023. Some critics voiced their disapproval of the film after its debut, citing its violent content and controversial topics. Aamir Khan is one of the few Bollywood stars whose voice you can enjoy listening to even when he's not on screen. He discussed in an earlier interview, how filmmakers often use sex and violence because of how easily they can provoke audiences. Now that Sandeep Reddy Vanga Ranbir Kapoor's ‘Animal’ is playing in cinemas, the video has generated as much controversy as the film itself.
Aamir Khan’s old video was posted on Reddit's popular page BollyBlindsNGossip. He can be heard saying, "There are few emotions which are very easy to provoke the audience. Emotions like sex and violence are examples of this. These are two emotions which are most easy to provoke in a human being. Those directors who are not very talented in creating a story, in showing emotions or creating situations, they depend heavily on sex and violence to make their films work.”
Additionally, he shed light on the potential effects of this kind of content on the audience and the susceptible brains of young people. “They think that if we put excessive violence and sex, their films will be successful. I believe it's a wrong thinking process. There's a possibility that they may become successful at times but it harms society very much," he said.
‘Animal’ is under fire for its controversial storyline and glorification of the "alpha male" mentality and sexism.
‘Animal’ continues to do well despite the negative reviews; in only two days after its debut, it earned more than Rs 100 crore net in India. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor, the main lead in the action drama is Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Bobby Deol.
