Director Karan Johar, at a recent event, said, Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor is the 'best movie of 2023' and said the movie is a game changer, calling it genius. Johar was seated next to the director of the movie Sandeep Reddy Vanga at the Mega Pan India Roundtable 2023.
Johar, whose last movie was Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, said, people have told him the movie was like a vaccination for Animal. Animal grossed over Rs 500 crore at the box office. Johar also said he liked Vanga Reddy's movie Kabir Singh, which also came under the scanner for the portrayal of a male chauvinist character.
Other participants in the round table included Rani Mukerji, Taapsee Pannu, Prithvi Konanur, Jude Anthany Joseph, and Rima Das. Johar also said that he cried while watching Animal and said he watched it twice.
Animal stars Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Shakti Kapoor
