While speaking to The Quint about the criticism regarding the scene, Bobby said, “I’m not trying to promote anything. Yes, it was required. How do you showcase a character in such a short span, show what this man is capable of, what kind of person he is? All these scenes were required.”

He added, “We are influenced by what is happening in society as filmmakers. What is written, as a story, is an influence of what is happening in society. It exists in our society. We are not promoting it. We are actors, portraying characters, entertaining people. And if that was the case, this film wouldn’t be a big hit.”

Bobby earlier revealed how he prepared for the scene when his character, Abrar, hears the news of his brother’s death. He told iDream Media, “When I was doing the scene in the film, it was about a brother who has lost his brother. As actors, we use incidents in our lives to bring that emotion. We have a bank full of them. My brother means the world to me. When I was performing that scene, it was as if I’ve actually lost my brother. And that’s why, when I was emoting, it felt real.”

‘Animal’ stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role with Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Triptii Dimri in the pivotal roles.
