Amid Animal Release, Manoj Bajpayee’s Views On Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh Resurfaces: Be Ready For…

Animal Film Update: While Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Animal has enjoyed a strong opening at the box office, it has also faced criticism for its portrayal of toxic masculinity, misogyny, gore, and violence. As the movie receives mixed reviews, actor Manoj Bajpayee's comments on Kabir Singh are gaining traction on the internet.

In a conversation with Mid Day, the actor expressed, "Kabir Singh for me, is part of the society. You want to take it the way it is, it's fine. You don't want to take it the way it is don't watch it. The moment you want to burden it with your own morality, then be ready for all other segments of the society, who are going to point fingers and try to censor other contents which will not suit their morality. Are you ready for it?"

He further emphasized that shutting down such films is a futile endeavor. Bajpayee continued, "If you shut down one Kabir Singh, there will be 50 other films that you will agree with and the other segments will not agree with, they will burden with their own morality and they will start censoring it. They will start pelting stones at the theatre because those films that they don't agree with are showing them there. So, in a society where you want films to be shown for everybody, you can be critical of it, you can be critical of of the character when you are writing it, you can write your point of view, but you can't be of the opinion that you should not be making this film. Don't do this. It's a bad precedent. Films don't change society, films change hairstyles."

Meanwhile, Animal, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, has crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide in just one day, marking it as Ranbir's biggest opener.
