Arjun Kapoor on Sandeep Reddy’s Animal

In a chat with Chalchitra Talks, Arjun Kapoor was asked about most Indian films lacking thoughtful visual language. He then shared his thoughts on Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s filmmaking style and remarked, “I remember Oldboy’s (corridor) sequence then I remember what Sandeep did. When he put those masks, he made them one face of evil instead of making them caricaturish. Bobby’s (Deol) introduction, the way he uses a split screen from Ranbir is not usual, but the sound makes it better. When Anil (Kapoor) chachu sees Ranbir come back, he allows the edit to be looser to allow a better performance.”

He then added that Vanga’s 2017 film Arjun Reddy was also a ‘tremendously crafted film’. “Main toh paagal ho gaya tha dekhke. Akele dekhi thi maine. Aur main chair pe khade hoke clap kar raha tha. Pagal ho gaya tha main dekhkar ki ye dimaag kya hai, ye aadmi kaha se sochke laata hai aur ye performances nikali kaise aur ye writing kya hai? (I went crazy after watching it. I watched it alone. And I was standing on the chair clapping. I had gone mad watching it-like, what kind of mind is this, where does this man even come up with these ideas from, and how did he pull off such performances, and this writing- what even is this?),” he said.

Talking about Animal, it starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles. It is among the top 10 highest grossing Indian movies with a collection of over Rs 900 crores.
