He wrote, “Had a great evening with @sandeepreddy.vanga .
The most misunderstood, judged and reviled Filmaker at the moment . To me he is the most honest , vulnerable and a lovely person. I wanted to meet the man and I had questions and he answered every thing I asked of him about his film that I actually saw twice . Thank you for being patient and being yourself m. This is a person you can actually confront and talk to . Pls talk to him about the problems you have with the film . 40’days since i first saw ANIMAL and 22 days since I saw it the second time . The biggest game changer of Hindi cinema in the longest time and a film whose impact (good or bad) which can’t be denied . And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin . Great evening spent with him.”

Reacting to the same, Masaan director Neeraj Ghaywan wrote, “Cringe.” On the other hand, Varun Grover left a comment which read, “No.” Actor Avinash Tiwary, who was recently seen on the show Kaala, wrote, “Judged, honest and lovely human being maybe but misunderstood and reviled am not sure. I think he is fairly successful in the kind of response he has been able to generate. Great for an Artist but Extremely Unfortunate for the naive audience. We need good Artists but we need better audience and that includes all of us.”
Despite fierce criticism, Animal has been raking in the moolah, emerging as the one of the biggest hits of last year. The action drama stars Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor in lead roles.
