'Animal' director Sandeep Reddy Vanga opened up on the criticism by Aamir Khan's ex-wife, Kiran Rao without taking her name. In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar. Sandeep called out Kiran and gave references of Aamir Khan's film, 'Dil' where he threatens a female character with rape and later falls in love with her. He said, “Some people don’t understand what they are saying. One assistant director showed me the article from this superstar’s second ex-wife where she was saying that ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Kabir Singh’ promote misogyny, promote stalking. I think she doesn’t understand the difference between stalking and approaching.”
He added, “I want to tell that woman that go and ask Aamir Khan about the song ‘Khambe jaisi khadi hai’, what was that? Then come back to me. If you remember 'Dil', he almost attempts rape, he makes her feel like she has done the wrong thing. And they fall in love after that. What was all that? I don’t understand why they attack like that before checking the surroundings''.
