Ranbir Kapoor, addressing the controversy around 'Animal,' emphasizes the healthy conversation it sparked on toxic masculinity
Ranbir Kapoor addresses conversation around Animal
If there is one film that created the maximum buzz in all possible directions last year, it has to be 'Animal,' which stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. The movie, directed and written by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is one of the most discussed movies for its subject that was labeled misogynistic and problematic by many, sparking a nationwide debate. However, the makers, who were witnessing a landslide box office collection, were also giving that conversation a side-eye for a long time. As Vanga later came out and took a stand for his material, it turns out that now Ranbir wants to defend the nature of his latest hit film.
In a new video surfacing on the internet, the team of 'Animal,' including Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, are in conversation with comedian and actor Anubhav Singh Bassi. Ranbir has decided to address the entire debate over misogyny and problematic bits. The actor, while talking about 'Animal,' said that the conversation that kick-started is very healthy and great because cinema starts such conversations.

As per the video, Ranbir Kapoor said, “There is a very healthy conversation that has started about toxic masculinity also, which is a great thing because cinema, at least, it starts a conversation. If something is wrong, if you don’t show that it is wrong, and unless conversation starts in the society, we will never realise it.”
In the same interview, the team spoke about a lot of things, from Bobby Deol’s transformation to the action. While talking about the same, Deol asked Ranbir whether he got tired of shooting back-to-back action sequences in 'Animal' as there are plenty.
“No, because this was the first chance I got to do action like this. Both of you have done so many action films, this is technically my first film.” Bobby adds, “It is like you have got rid of all the frustration here,” “Yes, all of it!” Ranbir Kapoor replied.
'Animal' was released in cinema halls on December 1, 2023, and is now streaming on Netflix since January 26, 2024. It stars Rashmika Mandanna, Shakti Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, and an ensemble alongside the aforementioned stars.
