There is no doubt that Ranbir Kapoor's film 'Animal' has left a mark across the globe and has crossed the 900 crore mark. Many viewers have already expressed their objections to the film. But now a new name, Javed Akhtar, has also been added to this list.
Javed Akhtar recently took aim at the film 'Animal' without mentioning its name. He said if such a film becomes a super hit, it is a very dangerous thing. Many celebrities including Javed Akhtar attended the 'Ajanta Ellora International Film Festival' in Aurangabad where Javed not only expressed his views but also took responsibility towards the audience.
I just had the privilege of screening “Article 15” at AIFF with the legends themselves!

Without naming Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Animal, Javed said the film's success was dangerous and said, “If a film in which a man says to a woman, 'You lick my shoes', if a man says, “That woman.” What harm does it do to slap a film? “It’s very dangerous if this film becomes a superhit.”
In fact, Javed Akhtar spoke about the film's lead character's mindset towards women in Animal. The scene he remembered was shot between Trupti Dhimri and Ranbir Kapoor.
He expressed his views and said that I think there is a problem among today's writers. How did this man become a hero? This confusion exists because there is confusion in society. Knowing the difference between right and wrong creates great characters in stories.
While noting the responsibility of the society, he also took to task the young filmmakers and said that this time it is a test for the young filmmakers on how to portray their character.
He referred to the song 'Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai' and said when this song came out, millions of people liked it. This song became a hit, which is a very scary thing. Therefore, it is the great responsibility of cinema viewers to decide what kind of films to make. You decide which values should be included in the film.
