Taapsee Pannu on Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal': 'Won't do a film like this, don't compare it to Hollywood and say...'

Many actors have spoken about and against Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal ever since it has released and become a raging success. The newest entrant is Taapsee Pannu. In an interview with Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel, she had something to say about the kind of content it carries. The actress said, “Lot of people told me too much about it ( Animal ). Look, I am not an extremist, so I agree to disagree to a lot of people… don’t compare it to Hollywood and say ‘If you liked Gone Girl, how can you not like Animal’? You are catering to a different audience. In Hollywood, people don’t start copying actors’ hairstyles from movies or using a film’s line in real life.” She added, “They also don’t start stalking women after seeing it in a movie. But all this happens in our country. This is our reality. You cannot compare our film industries with Hollywood and say ‘Why are these pseudos talking like this about Animal, when they can enjoy Gone Girl as an art’? Understand the difference.” On not wanting to do a film like Animal Keeping the reality (of society) in mind, I need to exercise my power because Bollywood or being a star and actor gives you that soft power. And with power comes responsibility. So it is my opinion, and I am not one of those, who will tell XYZ actors that they should not do these films. They have their own choice; we are in a free country and we have a freedom of choice. I wouldn’t do it (Animal) is what I am saying. Taapsee was last seen in _Dunki_ opposite Shah Rukh Khan, which was directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
