Himesh Reshammiya breaks silence on similarities between Badass Ravi Kumar & Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal: ' I feel that if there is a...'

Himesh Reshammiya’s recent release Badass Ravikumar garnered love from fans for being an unabashed no-brainer entertainer. However, fans also spoke about the striking similarities between his film and Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal.

Reacting to it, Himesh said that the chain-saw scene isn’t in any other film.“Actually, woh chain-saw wala toh koi bhi film me nhi tha. (The chain-saw scene in the film isn’t there in any other movie)." But of course, humney kahin na kahin jo retro andaaz rakha tha uskey liye… baal bhi lambe they, woh retro andaaz tha. (But of course, we maintained the retro look of the character, for which his hair is also long.)" Reshammiya told PinkVilla.

Calling Animal a current movie, he added, “Animal toh current film hai but kahin na kahin woh beard, ek conventional look jo aaj chal raha hai, toh ek similarity hogi. Aur mujhey lag raha hai agar ek achi cheez se similarity ho bhi toh koi problem nahi hai. (Animal is a current film, but there is a similarity because of the beard and the conventional look that’s in trend today. I feel that if there is a similarity with something good, then there’s no problem)."

Touted to be a spin-off to the 2014 drama film The Xpose, Badass Ravikumar is directed by Keith Gomes. It also features Prabhudeva, Kirti Kulhari, Sunny Leone, Sanjay Mishra, Johnny Lever, Mohan Joshi, Raza Murad, Simona J, Saurabh Sachdeva, Pawan Malhotra, Navneet Nishan, Manish Wadhwa, Rajesh Sharma and Prashant Narayanan, among others in prominent roles.
