Animal The Movie: The official Twitter (now known as X) handle of the film Animal has posted a shocking reply to Swanand Kirkire after he slammed the Ranbir Kapoor film. The lyricist and playback singer criticised the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film on X earlier this week. He slammed the ‘alpha male’ dialogue which claimed that men who are not ‘alpha material’ become poets and make false promises. The lyricist also also objected to the treatment of women in the movie and said, “the glorious history of Indian cinema is being embarrassed!”
A daily carried a report featuring his posts. On Wednesday, the official handle of Animal (which is followed by T-Series and has also been featured in all Animal related posts by the production house) shared a picture of the report and reacted to his statements. The post read: “Do not let your knees fall ahead of your toes or cave in towards each other. Keep feet shoulder-width apart to maintain a good base of support for balance. Land softly on the balls of the feet to help absorb the force of the landing. Yes…. now it landed perfectly @swanandkirkire.”

The reply has left everyone in shock. Many also speculate that the person behind the reply could be Sandeep Reddy Vanga. “Vanga forgot to switch the account,” a fan wrote. “Confirm Ee account ki admin @imvangasandeep,” added another. “Apne asli account se reply kijiye Sandeep Reddy Vanga ji,” a third comment read.
What Did Swanand Kirkire Say About Animal?
A day after the film released, Swanand Kirkire revealed he watched the film and was not pleased with it. Kirkire said films like Aurat, Guru Dutt’s Saheb Biwi aur Ghulam, Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anupama, Shyam Benegal’s Ankur and Bhumika, Ketan Mehta’s Mirch Masala, Sudhir Mishra’s Main Zinda Hoon, Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish, Vikas Behal’s Queen and Shoojit Sarkar’s Piku, among other movies, taught everyone how to respect women.
“But today after watching the movie Animal, I really felt pity for the women of today’s generation. Now, a new man has been prepared for you, who is more scary, who does not respect you that much and who aims to subdue you, suppress you and feels proud of himself. When you, the girls of today’s generation, were sitting in that cinema hall and applauding Rashmika getting beaten, I in my mind paid homage to every idea of equality. I have come home desperate, dejected and weak!” he said.
“Ranbir’s dialogue in which he defines alpha male and says that those men who not able to become alpha, they become poets to get the pleasure of all women and start making promises of breaking the moon and stars. I am a poet! I do poetry to live! Is there a place for me? A film is making a lot of money and the glorious history of Indian cinema is being embarrassed. In my understanding, this film will determine the future of Indian cinema afresh, in a different, terrible and dangerous direction,” he added.

For the unversed, Animal revolves around a man and his toxic relationship with his father. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film shows Vijay (played by Ranbir) as an anti-hero who would go to any lengths to protect his father, including gun down 200 people with machine gun. However, despite his efforts, he struggles to get a seal of approval from his emotionally unavailable father (played by Anil Kapoor). His unhealthy relationship with his father impacts his relationship with his wife (played by Rashmika Mandanna).
