Earlier this year, Ranbir Kapoor was awarded Best Actor by Filmfare for his performance in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal'.
For the unversed, 'Animal' released in cinemas on December 1, 2023, and the film which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Triptii Dimri and Anil Kapoor, minted more than Rs 900 crore at the worldwide box office, despite receiving flak for glorifying toxic masculinity.
Earlier, Kangana Ranaut had criticised Ranbir Kapoor’s latest film ‘Animal’, though she didn't name the movie. However, she talked about a particular line and it made it clear, that she is talking about 'Animal'.
Taking to X, Kangana Ranaut said that viewers flock to theatres to watch “women beating films where they are treated like sex objects and asked to lick shoes”. She also said that it is “deeply discouraging” for her as she has been doing woman empowerment films.
In ‘Animal’, there is a scene where the film's lead character Rannvijay (Ranbir Kapoor), asked Zoya (Triptii Dimri) to lick his shoes to prove her love for him.
Coming back to Kangana Ranaut, ‘Tejas’ was her consecutive box office disaster. Baring her 2019 release ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, her films since ‘Katti Batti’ in 2015 have been box office duds.
Kangana Ranaut will next be seen in the 2024 Hindi movie ‘Emergency’. In the film, directed by Kangana Ranaut, she will play the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film is slated to release in cinemas on June 14, 2024.
