In a surprising turn of events, renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently sat down with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, showering praises on the controversial director’s latest cinematic venture, ‘Animal.’ The Instagram post capturing their meeting unveiled a side of Sandeep that has been widely misunderstood and unfairly judged.
The photographs posted by Anurag depict a casual yet intriguing encounter. Dressed in a cream T-shirt and black jacket, Anurag Kashyap can be seen with a warm smile, his arm casually draped over Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s shoulder. Sandeep, in a printed shirt and trousers, reciprocates the gesture, creating a snapshot of camaraderie between the two filmmakers.
Anurag’s caption accompanying the images sheds light on his perspective, calling Sandeep the “most misunderstood, judged, and reviled filmmaker at the moment.” He goes on to describe him as the “most honest, vulnerable, and lovely human being,” expressing indifference to public opinion about Vanga and his latest creation, ‘Animal.’
“I really don’t give a f*** what anyone thinks of him or his film,” Anurag boldly declares. The filmmaker reveals his motivation for the meeting, stating, “I wanted to meet the man, and I had questions, and he answered everything I asked of him about his film that I actually saw twice.”
Anurag’s appreciation extends beyond the cinematic realm, thanking Sandeep for his patience and authenticity. The post details, “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) can’t be denied. And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin. Great evening spent with him.”
‘Animal,’ released in 2023, emerged as one of the year’s biggest blockbusters, yet it did not escape criticism for its portrayal of misogyny. The film intricately explores a troubled father-son relationship, featuring Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Rannvijay Singh, seeking revenge after an assassination attempt on his father.
Anurag Kashyap’s unexpected endorsement adds a layer of complexity to the narrative surrounding ‘Animal.’ While the film’s impact is undeniable, the public’s perception, shaped by both acclaim and critique, remains a dynamic force.
