Kangana Ranaut's Old Interview Video About DARK CINEMA Goes Viral Amidst Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal Release

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's latest offering, Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna has been creating waves at the box-office. The film opened with a bang on day 1 and continues to rake in big moolah after five days of its release.

While Animal is being lauded for the brilliant performance by its star cast, Sandeep Vanga is facing severe criticism for the film's alleged toxicity and misogynistic approach. Drawing parallels to Vanga's previous works, Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, the filmmaker has been accused of glorifying toxic male characters.

And now, amidst the ongoing discourse, an old interview of Kangana Ranaut has resurfaced on social media and it was also shared on Reddit. The video shows Kangana in an interview with Aamir Khan and Deepika Padukone making a statement on the portrayal of dark subjects in cinema.

WHEN KANGANA RANAUT TALKED ABOUT FILMS ON DARK SUBJECTS

Speaking in Hindi, Kangana said, "I'm not saying there shouldn't be dark cinema or that the reality shouldn't be shown. But if it's shown, showing its consequences is also important. How it affects the girl and her future and how it affects the boy as well. So, there cannot be a happy ending."

The Queen actress further delved into the potential repercussions of depicting toxic characters on screen, and adds, "Such boys start ragging others when they grow up. They not only harass girls but everyone. Even their parents. They are antisocial people who are problematic for everyone. They feel that such characters in movies justify their behaviour. They'll wear the same shirt as the character and convince themselves that they are right because films are being made about them. They think the heroes are inspired by them."

NETIZENS REACT TO KANGANA'S VIDEO

The video has sparked reactions from netizens, who are lauding Kangana's perspective. A user wrote, "This girl was something, why the fuck she ruined herself. I hate her for ruining herself like this. She had so much potential. She was ahead of her times. I don't think I have seen any actress being so fucking articulate."

Another user wrote, "Damn ... her command on the language is solid. No where does it sound forced or unnatural."
One more user said, "Man! Look at her. For her age, she was really way ahead of the curve. I miss this Kangana. I think the way she is now is a consequence of what she's gone through, sure but we should cut our losses and move forward."

Meanwhile, this comes on the heels of another old interview featuring Aamir Khan, where the actor addressed the same issue, highlighting how some directors resort to violence as a means of achieving success in their films.
