Kareena Kapoor has called out the herd mentality in the Hindi film industry, pointing to how the success of one film can spark a wave of similar stories. Citing Animal as an example, she questioned the rush to replicate its violence. Notably, the film starred her cousin Ranbir Kapoor. It went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2023.

Kareena on the mentality of the film industry

In a new candid townhall interaction with Yuvaa, Kareena called out the herd mentality that still exists within the Hindi film industry. She said, "Our audience is smarter than we think. They know exactly when it's a good film and they want to watch it. So today it is not just about a young love story. All these things are very dated, ki abhi violence chal rahi hai… ki abhi Animal chal gayi toh chalo sab violence kar lete hai. We are herd mentality, what to say?"
