No other film in recent times has created as much noise as ‘Animal’ did. It looks like Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s films are content providers for critics, analysts and activists on the internet as they get to talk about it for months and bag a lot of viewership. People have a lot of opinions about ‘Animal’ and they are constantly bashing it for promoting a lot of unacceptable things while many came in support of the film.
While ‘Animal’ has crossed the 750 crore mark and going steadily at the box office, not a lot of celebrities came out in public and appreciated the film. It was only Allu Arjun and Alia Bhatt who praised the movie on social media. While Alia is Ranbir’s wife, it is well known that Allu Arjun announced a movie with Sandeep Reddy Vanga that may begin next year. They too faced the heat on social media for praising a movie that celebrated violence, misogyny and vileness.
Interestingly, superstar Mahesh Babu who came in as a guest for the pre-release event of ‘Animal’ did not talk about the film after it came out in theatres. He called Sandeep one of the most original directors and said that he got mental after watching the trailer but people were surprised that Mahesh did not express his opinion after the release. Sources say that he congratulated Sandeep Reddy Vanga on the film’s success personally but avoided making public statements in order to stay away from criticism and trolling online.
