Sandeep Reddy Vanga Critiques Aamir Khan’s ‘Dil’ After Kiran Rao’s Animal Criticism; ‘Rape Attempt & Pyaar…?’

Sandeep Reddy Vanga Responds to Criticism of “Animal”

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s new film, “Animal,” has been divisive, getting both praise and criticism from audiences and reviewers. While it did well at the box office, some people online complained that it promotes harmful ideas about women and men.

Vanga responded to these concerns by bringing up an old movie, “Dil,” starring Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao’s ex-husband. He didn’t mention Rao by name, but he pointed out that “Dil” also has scenes that could be seen as problematic. In the film, Khan’s character acts in a way that could be interpreted as attempted rape towards the female lead, played by Madhuri Dixit. Vanga argues that despite this, the characters end up falling in love, making him question why his film is criticized while “Dil” isn’t.
