Anurag Kashyap on Animal movie receiving backlash

In an interview with News18, Anurag Kashyap shared that he is yet to watch Ranbir Kapoor‘s film Animal but he is aware of the debate and discussion going around. He added that nobody has the right to tell any filmmaker what to make and what not to make. In his opinion, people get offended very easily. He recalled the debate around Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s previous film Kabir Singh and said filmmakers can represent what they want, audiences can either agree or disagree with it. “What is morality? It’s a very subjective thing. Every kind of character and person exists in this society. 80 percent of Indian men are like Kabir Singh. I didn’t have an issue with the subject,” Anurag Kashyap added.
