'Animal' has been called various things besides also being labeled 'misogynistic' and 'violent'. From Swanand Kirkire to Javed Akhtar, many known celebrities have critiqued the film.Recently, in an interview with entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath, ranbir kapoor spoke about Animal's release and how people within the industry were disappointed with the movie. When the show host alleged that movies should not be the place from where society derives their sense of morality and that their main purpose should only be entertainment, ranbir kapoor added, "That was the intention, but it was misconstrued.”
“Social media played havoc. They needed something to talk about, so they went to town claiming it was a misogynistic film. What happens is that the hard work that you put in… I know the director had made Kabir Singh, who also data-faced the same thing, the hard work gets diminished. Because it gets this tag, which isn’t true, the perception stayed with this film. So, the general public will speak very fondly about the film, but there are many people I meet, who tell me, ‘You shouldn’t have done this film, we are so disappointed in you’. And a lot of people from the film industry (said the same thing). I quietly apologize and say, ‘Sorry I won’t do it next time.’ I don’t agree with them, but I am in that phase of my life I don’t argue with anyone. If you don’t like my work, I will say I am sorry I will try harder next time,” the star added.
Speaking about how he wanted to break free from his 'good boy' image, ranbir kapoor said in the same interaction, “I had always been following a career path where I was doing good roles, trying to give good social messages, play the ‘good boy’ basically, the coming-of-age romantic image that I had. So, I found this very bold, adult-rated. I was scared that maybe the audience would not accept me. When the film was released, even though it did amazing numbers and we got a lot of love, there is a big audience which found the film misogynist and wrong, in some way.”
