Taapsee Says She Would Not Do A Movie Like 'Animal'!
She added, “Keeping the reality (of society) in mind, I need to exercise my power because Bollywood or being a star and actor gives you that soft power.
By: Tupaki Desk | 22 Jan 2024 9:35 AM GMTSandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal' is one of the top hits of 2023. The movie earned more than 900 crores at the box office and Ranbir's acting swept everyone off their feet. The intense, the action, performances, drama and every element impressed the audiences. While the movie was loved by many, we can clearly see that it was criticised by a lot of people. Taapsee says she wouldn't do a movie like 'Animal' and she explains the reason why.
She said, “Lot of people told me too much about it (Animal). Look, I am not an extremist, so I agree to disagree to a lot of people... don't compare it to Hollywood and say 'If you liked Gone Girl, how can you not like Animal'? You are catering to a different audience. In Hollywood, people don't start copying actors' hairstyles from movies or using a film's line in real life. They also don't start stalking women after seeing it in a movie. But all this happens in our country. This is our reality. You cannot compare our film industries with Hollywood and say 'Why are these pseudos talking like this about Animal, when they can enjoy Gone Girl as an art'? Understand the difference.”
She added, “Keeping the reality (of society) in mind, I need to exercise my power because Bollywood or being a star and actor gives you that soft power. And with power comes responsibility. So it is my opinion, and I am not one of those, who will tell XYZ actors that they should not do these films. They have their own choice; we are in a free country and we have a freedom of choice. I wouldn't do it (Animal) is what I am saying.”
She is currently working in two Tamil movies namely 'Jana Gana Mana' and 'Alien'. Her upcoming Hindi flicks include 'Who Ladki Hai Kahaan?', and 'Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba'. He is also doing 'Dhak Dhak'.
