Tere Ishk Mein vs. Animal: Director Addresses Similarities
24 Nov
Summary
- Director Aanand L Rai acknowledges similarities with Animal but highlights different narrative.
- Rai clarifies Dhanush's character is sensitive, not an 'alpha male'.
- The director shares a profound, father-son like bond with Dhanush.
Director Aanand L. Rai has addressed the burgeoning comparisons between his upcoming film, Tere Ishk Mein, and Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. Rai conceded that while "there are similarities in how the characters have aggression and rage," these elements are merely components of the story, not its entirety, stating, "It doesn't belong in the same space."
Rai specifically countered the notion that Dhanush's character, depicted in a trailer scene entering a wedding, embodies an "alpha male." He firmly asserted, "For me, the character is emotional and sensitive, and nothing that he does is wrong," reframing the character's actions as arising from a different emotional core.
Beyond the film's narrative, Rai reflected on his deep connection with Dhanush, describing their relationship as having grown into something akin to a father-son bond. This personal connection, he noted, transcends their professional collaboration and adds a magical dimension to their work together.
