Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director behind the controversial films “Kabir Singh” and “Animal,” recently addressed the criticism surrounding his work, particularly regarding the portrayal of toxic masculinity. In a candid interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Vanga responded to the backlash and defended the climactic moments of his films.

Acknowledging the polarizing reception of his movies, Vanga remarked that audiences are accustomed to seeing a hero deliver a moral lesson in the climax. He argued that viewers often seek satisfaction when the protagonist admits fault and accepts wrongdoing on screen. Referring to the character of Kabir Singh, Vanga emphasized that people wanted the titular character to acknowledge his mistakes and relinquish his love interest, Preeti. Similarly, in “Animal,” Vanga highlighted the consequences faced by the protagonist, suggesting that such outcomes should suffice for viewers seeking redemption arcs.

Addressing the issue of personal agendas influencing film criticism, Vanga expressed frustration when audiences fail to appreciate the intended climax. He drew a comparison, implying that if personal biases interfere with viewing experiences, even acclaimed films like “Avatar” would be deemed uninteresting.

Taking a dig at Aamir Khan’s wife, Kiran Rao, who had criticized his films for promoting misogyny and stalking, Vanga indirectly referred to her comments in the interview. Without naming Rao directly, he questioned her understanding of concepts like stalking, implying that her criticism was misguided and lacked context. Vanga suggested that misinterpretations of film content can lead to misguided public opinions, emphasizing the importance of understanding nuances in storytelling.

Vanga’s remarks offer insight into his perspective on the controversies surrounding his films and shed light on the challenges filmmakers face in navigating public scrutiny. Despite criticism, he remains steadfast in his creative vision, urging audiences to appreciate the complexities of character development and narrative storytelling.
