Sandeep Reddy Vanga Reacts To Javed Akhtar’s Animal Criticism

Animal’s filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga recently defended himself against Javed Alhtar after the latter criticized his film on live television. Javed gave his views during an episode of Indian Idol, when a contestant urged Sandeep to gave his views on the matter.

Vanga responded by saying, “Javed Akhtar said it’s dangerous for society, and I agree with him. If Javed Ji wasn’t a lyricist or story writer, I’d take his words seriously.” Previously, in a chat with Barkha Dutt on Mojo Story, Javed had said, “I didn’t express my opinion on Animal, I spoke about the audience that watched it. If 15 people have made a film with the wrong values, if 10-12 people make obscene songs, that’s not the problem. If 15 people are perverts among the 140 crore population, it doesn’t matter. When that thing goes on the market and becomes a superhit, that’s the problem.”

During the same episode, Sandeep also shares how it is to be associated with the ladies in his life and had some good words to say about his mother. He said in his interview that since his interaction with his mother is smooth as comapred to the characters in the film. He remarked that this aspect of his life is not dramatic so he does not know how he pretends it on the camera.

"I’ve been criticised for not giving enough importance to the mother’s role in my films, but I’ve realised that in real life, I am much more attached to my mother. But since we don’t have any complaints in that relationship, there is no drama there or any angst that compels me to write about it. If I ever make a mother-son story, it will be very positive, nothing dark and only good vibes,” he said.

On the work front, Sandeep is currently working on his next film with Prabhas, named Spirit. He will also be directing Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal Park.
