Rashmika Mandanna about her character in Animal
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal has become one of the most controversial films. The film received equal hate and love from the audience. Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal has become one of the 2023 highest-grossing films. However, the film has also received backlash from many audiences for its misogynist portrayal and weak female characters. Even though the film was released on December 1, 2023, the controversies and discussions about the film didn’t end. Animal’s lead actress, Rashmika Mandanna, defended her role as Geethanjali in the movie, saying it is a strong character.
Rashmika Mandanna, in a recent interview, shared her views on her role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, as there was massive criticism of weaker women’s roles in the film. Rashmika said, “My character in the film was written that way. I am an actor, bringing the director’s imagination alive. So, everything that we actors do on set or everything we do in the film is actually what the director’s imagination is, right? So, you do as they say. If it’s any little expression or reaction that the director doesn’t like, he does another take. It’s teamwork.” She further shared, “So, we can’t be like, ‘Ok, this is what you have done, and you know you’re influencing girls in the wrong way.”
As the female lead of the story, the actress backed her role in the film by saying, “I will do that character many times over, and it should be given to me because I feel like she is truly strong and she is truly a woman that I have heard stories of. I know a lot of Indian women who are like that. So, I just wanted to do this character, and I wanted to do it with full purity. I wanted to do it wholeheartedly,” Rashmika concluded by saying she believes she has done her bit as an actress.
