Sharmila Tagore recently voiced her views on Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal stressing on the impact the film had and to see what connected with the audience. The veteran actress expressed her concerns over the violence and misogyny the film featured.
She said, “There was a film called Animal recently… beyond violence, there was misogyny. But there were a lot of women in the audience who said, ‘I want somebody to love me like that.’ Any film that runs a lot, you cannot really rubbish it. You have to engage with it, try and understand what exactly is happening here,” speaking to a leading media portal.
Sharmila further spoke about Laapataa Ladies talking about how the film’s viewership overtook that of Animal once both were on the same platform. “Laapataa Ladies did well even theatrically as it was within the budget, whereas Animal spent a lot of money and made a huge amount of money also. There is that stark difference (in budgets) and it will continue. I don’t see it in the near future that it is going to change… So, the smaller films will also get their money back but not in the quantity that say a Ranbir Kapoor or a Ranveer Singh will bring,” she said.
