Emraan Hashmi Praises Ranbir Kapoor's Controversial Hit 'Animal' as 'Uncorrupted'

In a recent interview, Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has provided a positive assessment of the controversial film 'Animal', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Hashmi acknowledged that the film has been divisive, with audiences either loving or hating it. However, he expressed his own appreciation for the director's bold and unwavering approach.

Hashmi described 'Animal' as an "uncorrupted" film, praising Vanga's conviction in realizing his creative vision. He singled out the film's opening sequence, which features a long, uninterrupted shot that Hashmi found to be a testament to the director's confidence and audacity.

The actor's comments come as 'Animal' continues to be a topic of discussion in Bollywood, several months after its theatrical release in December 2023. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Anil Kapoor, delves into themes of a troubled father-son relationship, revenge, and moral conflict.

Despite the criticism directed at the film's portrayal of masculinity, 'Animal' emerged as a commercial success, further fueling the ongoing debate around its merits and impact. Hashmi's praise for the director's unwavering vision reinforces how polarizing cinema can elicit not just criticism, but also genuine admiration from industry peers.
