Several celebrities have already shared their opinions on the film. Now, Bhumi Pednekar whose latest release Bhakshak has created a buzz, opened up on Animal.
Bhumi Pednekar reviews Ranbir Kapoor's Animal
During a recent interview with The Lallantop, Bhumi Pednekar was asked to share her thoughts on Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. She said that she had watched the film but added that she has never liked watching “hyper-masculine films”.
“I watched Animal. Truly, I don’t like hyper-masculine films, and that’s not for just now, even earlier I never liked them. Even in Hollywood, the action films… I like watching rom-coms, those kind of films I really enjoy,” she said.
Throwing light on how a film is the filmmaker’s way of self-expression but what the audience gathers from it, is the “challenge," Bhumi further shared, “I genuinely believe that a film is a filmmaker’s self-expression, and that is very important. But as an audience, what you learn from that self-expression, that is the challenge.”
Earlier, Konkona Sensharma also opened up on Animal. In an interview with ANI, she said that she has not watched Animal because she does not feel it’s her kind of film. Furthermore, she felt that she was not drawn to it even from the reviews and things. "Also, I am aware of his previous work, where stalking has been glorified, certain violence has been made acceptable in relationships, and that’s not what I stand for,” Konkona shared.
