Sandeep Reddy Vanga said Javed Akhtar should have also questioned the same thing to his son Farhan Akhtar who produced web series Mirzapur.
Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, in his recent interview, has reacted to Javed Akhtar’s criticising his film which starred Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role. He hit back at the lyricist after he called movies like Animal ‘extremely dangerous’,
While speaking to Siddharth Kanan, Vanga said Javed Akhtar should have also questioned the same thing to his son Farhan Akhtar who produced web series Mirzapur. He said, "One thing is clear that he (Akhtar) didn't see the film. That's very clear in the comment that he didn't see the entire film. Abhi koi picture bina dekhe baat karta hai toh unke baare mein kya baat kare... Vo jo bhi ho, regular critic ho or best of the writers in the world... he's talking about my work, so obviously I'll feel bad. It's not only about him but anyone who is throwing stone on any art piece, why don't they check their surroundings first?"
Sandeep Reddy Vanga replies to Javed Akhtar...."Why didn't he tell the same thing to Farhan Akhtar who produced Mirzapur; Why is he not checking his son's work"

He further mentioned, "Did he tell the same thing to Farhan Akhtar when he was producing Mirzapur? Pura duniya bhar mein jitna gaaliyan hai vo Mirzapur ek show mein hai. I have not seen the full show. I saw also around 15 scenes and when you see those scene in Telugu, you will really feel like puking. Why is he not checking his son's work?"
For the unversed, in December 2023, Akhtar without taking anyone’s name, said, "If there’s a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe or if a man says it’s okay to slap a woman… and the film is a super hit, that’s dangerous." Everyone assumed that this was an indirect dig at at Animal as Ranbir Kapoor was seen asking Tripti Dimri who played Zoya to lick his shoe, in the film which also starred Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor.
