Sharmila Tagore is not a big fan of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, but acknowledges that the film had a lot of impact after its release. In a new interview on the YouTube channel Dil Se Kapil Sibal, the veteran actor shared how the film had violence but beyond it, there was also misogyny. She went on to say that one must not ignore the success of the film but try to ‘engage’ with it instead, in order to see why it connected with the audience in the first place.

What Sharmila said
During the conversation, Sharmila brought up the film’s name and 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 it that what exactly is happening here.”
She then talked about how a film like Laapataa Ladies overtook the viewership of Animal once both were on the same platform. Sharmila added, “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.”
