On Animal

Without naming Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol-starrer Animal, the lyricist rued in regards to the form of movies that achieve success at the moment. “If there’s a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe, if a man says it’s okay to slap a woman…and the film is a super hit, that’s dangerous,” he stated, referring to the scene between Ranbir and Triptii Dimrii’s characters that generated controversy. The slapping might be in reference to Sandeep’s earlier movie Kabir Singh, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani.

On music

He additionally opened up about how regardless of controversy in regards to the lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi, the music Choli Ke Peeche from Khal Nayak was a large hit within the ’90s. “People wonder why songs are so problematic today. Take Choli Ke Peeche for example, the issue isn’t the seven men and the two women involved in the song’s making. They’re hardly the problem,” he stated, including, “The problem is that the audience made this song a massive hit. Crores of people liked the song, that’s scary.”

On the viewers

Placing the onus on the viewers for the form of movies and music they make profitable, he stated, “More than the filmmaker, the onus lies with the audience today. You take responsibility too for the kind of films you watch. That’s what decides what kind of films will be made. You decide what’s made and what should be rejected. The value and moralities shown in our films lie in your hands,” he opined.
