Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s blockbuster film Animal has been drawing polarizing responses from the audience right from its release. While many people liked it, many folks didn’t like it either. Recently, popular Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar said that if a film like Animal becomes a super hit, it is dangerous. He also criticized the ‘shoe-licking’ scene in the movie.
Responding to Javed’s criticism, Animal’s official X handle wrote that love should be free from politics of gender.
“Writer of your calibre cannot understand the betrayal of a lover (Between Zoya & Ranvijay) then all your art form is big FALSE & If a woman (betrayed and fooled by a man in the name of love) would have said “lick my shoe” then you guys would have celebrated it by calling it feminism. Let love be free from the politics of gender. Let’s just call them lovers. LOVER cheated and lied. LOVER said lick my shoe. Period,” the Animal’s team tweeted.
