Now the director, responding to Javed Akhtar’s comments on the film, questioned whether he had expressed similar concerns to his son Farhan Akhtar’s popular web series ‘Mirzapur’. Vanga suggested that Javed Akhtar’s comment showed that he had not watched the film in its entirety before commenting on it.

Vanga further questioned, “Why didn’t he told the same thing to Farhan Akhtar when he was making Mirzapur? Mirzapur is a show that holds abusive language in each dialogue and I haven’t seen it. If you watch it you will feel nauseous.” Why is he not checking his son’s work before giving his opinion on other films?”
The film ‘Animal’ received a great response at the box office after its release. Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor and many other actors were seen in this film, which was released on December 1. Currently, it is available for streaming on OTT platforms.
