Konkona Sen Sharma Comments on ‘Animal’ and Film Content
14th January 2024: Bollywood luminary Konkona Sen Sharma has recently been making headlines due to her involvement in the web series ‘Killer Soup,’ which has received a diverse range of responses from audiences. Amidst this, Konkona has taken the opportunity to share her perspective on the Ranbir Kapoor starrer film ‘Animal’ in a recent interview.
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, ‘Animal’ has sparked varying opinions among viewers, with some lauding it while others criticize its depiction of violence and perceived misogyny. Konkona Sen Sharma, however, characterized the film as distinct within its genre. Notably, she admitted to not having watched the movie herself, shedding light on the varied reactions it has generated.
In a recent conversation with ANI, Konkona Sen Sharma expressed her stance on violence and intimate scenes in films. She asserted that she holds no objection to showcasing violence on screen, as long as it serves a meaningful purpose within the narrative. This sentiment extends to intimate scenes as well; while she does not mind their inclusion, she emphasizes the importance of such scenes contributing purposefully to the storytelling rather than being gratuitous. Konkona emphasized the significance of a solid rationale behind the portrayal of both violence and intimate scenes.
Interestingly, despite her commentary on ‘Animal,’ Konkona Sen Sharma disclosed that she has not viewed the film, released in 2023. The acclaimed actress, who previously shared the screen with Ranbir Kapoor in the 2009 romantic comedy ‘Wake Up Sid,’ expressed her reservations about ‘Animal,’ suggesting that it might not align with her personal preferences, as indicated by her lack of interest in reviews and discussions surrounding the film.
