When Sandeep Reddy Vanga said Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal will be ‘more controversial’ than Kabir Singh: ‘I want to show them…’

In a throwback video that has surfaced on the internet, Sandeep Reddy Vanga was seen talking about Animal–much before its official announcement was made. In an interview with Anupama Chopra, when she mentioned that she hopes his next after Kabir Singh generates less criticism, the filmmaker said, “It will be more,” and laughed.

“It will be more. These guys are calling this (Kabir Singh) a violent film, I want to tell them I will show them what a violent film will be. Now I am curious, how these guys are going to react. I don’t hate them, (but) I want to see how they feel about my next film. I am waiting, seriously. Someone called it a violent film, so I was taken aback. We will see,” he had said.

Animal, set to release on August 11, also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Triptii Dimri, and Rashmika Mandanna. This will be his third feature film after the Telugu hit Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, Hindi remake of the former.

In an interview with Good Times, Ranbir Kapoor had revealed his reaction after listening to the narration of Animal. He said, “I had to go to my bathroom and look at myself in the mirror, and I got scared. I’ve never felt scared of a story of a character.”
