Siddhant Karnick on Animal

In an interview with Mid Day, Siddhant Karnick defended his recent film Animal. Karnick, who plays the role of Varun Pratap Malhotra, said: “More than that, I feel the film has put across a dark character in a very stylised format. In no way are we indicating that there is glory in being a dark character, nor are we suggesting that people should be like Ranvijay. Since Animal is a stylised film, all traits including the darkness of the protagonist are stylised in keeping with the treatment of the narrative.” 

He further said that all the characters in the film are fictional and it was meant for entertainment. "What Ranbir essays as Ranvijay or what I play as Varun are just fictional, in a film made with the idea of entertaining cine-goers", he added.
