Animal: Konkona Sen Sharma REACTS To Violence, S*x In Ranbir Kapoor Film, Says 'Not What I Stand For...'

Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal was released in December last year amid much anticipation. The film became an instant hit and went on to do massive business at the box office. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial film became one of the highest-grossing films of 2023. However, Ranbir’s Wake Up Sid co-star Konkona Sen Sharma recently revealed that she has not watched it since it’s not her “type” of film.

During a podcast interview recently, Konkona said, “I don’t have a problem with depicting violence on screen as long as there is very good reason for it. Even sex. I don’t have a problem with viewing sex but I don’t want to be there just for the sake of it. I don’t want to see violence just for the sake of it. I don’t want to see sex for the sake of it. There has to be a reason why it’s there in the film because it connects to the characters or it connects to the plot, or whatever it has to justify itself. That is one thing, why is it there? What is the intent of the director?”

“From what I understand and I may be mistaken, I’ve not watched ‘Animal’ because I don’t feel it’s my kind of film. I haven’t been drawn to the film even from the reviews and things. Also, I’m aware of his previous work and he stands by that work, the director, and where a certain violence has been made acceptable in relationships and that is not what I stand for. Now, if it’s done very well, I don’t mind watching it. But that’s not what I’ve heard, and I don’t think I’m the target audience anyway. Millions of people are watching it, so it’s doing very well and they don’t need me,” she added.

Konkona recently reunited with Ranbir for an ad based on their film Wake Up Sid.
