Due to its violent and controversial content, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial has led the audience talking. Animal has also been called ‘misogynistic’ by some critics. Recently, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap was in talks with News18 Showsha where he opened up about the criticism that Animal is receiving. He said, “I’m yet to watch Animal. I just returned from Marrakech. But I’m aware of the conversations happening online. Nobody has the right to tell a filmmaker what kind of films they should and shouldn’t make. People in this country get easily offended with films. They get offended with my films too. But I expect educated people to not get offended at the drop of a hat.”
