Karan Johar is all praise for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal. The filmmaker, who was a part Mega Pan India Roundtable 2023 organised by Galatta Plus, said that Animal is the best film of the year and its success is a "game changer." Vanga was also a part of the roundtable.
During the conversation Karan said,
Karan also explained why he loved Animal. “I loved Animal for its front-footed, absolutely conviction-based narrative storytelling, breaking grammar, breaking myths, breaking everything that you think conforms to mainstream cinema. Suddenly you have an interval block where the hero is getting bashed up and everyone's singing a song... I am like, 'Where have you seen a sequence like this?' It's genius. The end, where the two men are going for each other and they play that song... I had tears in my eyes, but there was only blood. So I was like something is wrong with me or something is wrong with him, but something put together is very right about this film. This is not an average thinking mind. This is a mind of someone who is so distinct, so individualistic that I was blown away. I saw the film twice, first to see as an audience member and second to study it. I think the success and acceptance of Animal is game-changing. The conviction is something that I want to have.”
