Sandeep Reddy Vanga directed movie Animal is performing very well at the box-office and it has become the fourth highest grosser of the year despite the fact that some critics have called the movie toxic and problematic.
The Indian movie director-producer, Ram Gopal Varma has spoken a lot in support of Animal and recently he called it, “only true original movie from the Indian cinema.”
When RGV was asked whether he feels that Sandeep can be called his successor, RGV replied in negative and said that he feels that Sandeep is closer to Anurag Kashyap. He stated, “I would think Anurag is closer to Sandeep. To say it in a cliché, I think Sandeep is a highly commercial version of Anurag Kashyap. The darkness of the characters, the very in your face… It’s something I’ve never done.”
He further added, “Heir is a wrong example because I always followed a template, I didn’t do anything original. But Animal is completely original. I might have issues with it because of my sensibilities, but Animal is the only truly original film from Indian cinema. What I made were just hybrid versions of what was working.”
Do you agree with RGV that Animal is the only true original movie from the Indian cinema?
