Let us tell you that the film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. According to media reports, in an interview, Farhan admitted that he did not like the film ‘Animal’ and found the character played by Ranbir Kapoor in the film problematic. According to media reports, during an interview, Farhan Akhtar said, “The film ‘Animal’ is nothing special. Is this a film that I would recommend anyone to watch, I don’t think so.” When asked if he had the opportunity to produce Animal, had he done so, he replied, “No, I wouldn’t. I think the psycho and disturbing character played by Ranbir Kapoor is problematic.”

Farhan Akhtar further said, “I don’t believe that certain things should not be shown. We are in a field where if someone says to me, ‘You can’t make a film like this’, I will say, ‘Who are you to tell me what I should and shouldn’t make?’ I am allowed by the law of this country and I have the freedom to say whatever I want. What the audience wants to hear is for them to decide. I will never tell any filmmaker or writer or producer or anyone, ‘Yaar doesn’t make this’, or, ‘This kind of film cannot be made’. Everyone has their own opinion because I don’t think it is dangerous to do so.”
