Sandeep Reddy Vanga's movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, has been doing well at the box office, but it hasn't avoided criticism. Some viewers see the film as promoting misogyny, while others question the value of movies that glorify violent themes. Notably, Javed Akhtar has gone on record describing the success of such films as dangerous, sparking an ongoing debate.

On January 12, Anurag Kashyap took to his Instagram to lend his support to 'Animal' driector Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The filmmaker commended his strength and vulnerability, saying, "Had a great evening with @sandeepreddy.vanga . The most misunderstood, judged and reviled Filmaker at the moment . To me he is the most honest , vulnerable and a lovely human being . And I really don’t give a f””” what any one thinks of him or his film. I wanted to meet the man and I had questions and he answered every thing I asked of him about his film that I actually saw twice . Thank you for being patient and being yourself . 40’days since i first saw ANIMAL and 22 days since I saw it the second time . The biggest game changer of Hindi cinema in the longest time and a film whose impact (good or bad) which can’t be denied. And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin . Great evening spent with him (sic.)"

Previously, when the filmmaker had not watched the film, shared that nobody has the right to tell a filmmaker what kind of films they should or shouldn’t make. He further claimed that people in India get easily offended. The ace director shared, “I’m yet to watch Animal. I just returned from Marrakech. But I’m aware of the conversations happening online. Nobody has the right to tell a filmmaker what kind of films they should and shouldn’t make. People in this country get easily offended with films. They get offended with my films too. But I expect educated people to not get offended at the drop of a hat."
