Sandeep Reddy Vanga directed movie, Animal which starred Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Tripti Dimri in important roles may have performed superbly at the box-office but there is a big section of the society that has accused the movie of being toxic and problematic.
Recently, the famous moviemaker Karan Johar shed his opinion on the film and he made no hesitation in accepting that he loved the movie. This is what KJo said, “There’s been a lot of debate on Animal. People have expressed opinions, stood for it or against it—the filmmaker himself has been very vocal about his feelings. Personally, truly honestly, I saw it as a character film based on a character who was deeply dysfunctional, inherently violent, who had many emotional issues—and I loved the treatment.”
He further added, “I didn’t go deep into the moral communication of the film—I was so swept by the narrative and the way the filmmaker told the story of it through sound design, screenplay dialogue, character development, that as a filmmaker, I loved it.”
KJo also talked about getting many calls after he accepted that he loved Animal. In his words, “There are people who have called me and expressed their opinions—and agreed or disagreed with me. I have to be honest about my emotion attached to a film I’ve seen, and if it comes with criticism or flak, then I have to accept it with open arms. And if it comes with an embrace, I have to accept that as well.”

Animal is the biggest hit of Ranbir Kapoor’s career and the makers have already announced the sequel of the movie which they have titled as “Animal Park”.
