Vivek Oberoi calls Ranbir Kapoor's performance 'unbelievably brilliant' in Animal: 'There is nothing fake about him'

Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal has turned out to be a monstrous blockbuster at the box office as it collected over Rs 500 crore at the ticket windows. However, the film has garnered polarising views among celebs and a certain section of the audience as it was bashed for showcasing toxic masculinity. Actor Vivek Oberoi, who recently featured in Rohit Shetty’s _Indian Police Force_, praised Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in Animal and said in an interview with Mirchi Plus, “Ranbir Kapoor is unbelievably brilliant in _Animal_. When I met him this time at the success party, I hugged him & said I love you man, what an Actor you are. He is very secured & chilled as an actor, there is nothing fake about him. He is extremely talented & yet he’s very humble” He added, “He is not waiting for people to come to him. He just came and hugged me. I love it. He is so secure. He knows his talent and he is so humble. Zameen pe baith jata hai woh (He sits on the ground.) He does not care what people think. He is just working."

Writer of your calibre cannot understand the betrayal of a lover (Between Zoya & Ranvijay) then all your art form is big FALSE 🙃 & If a woman (betrayed and fooled by a man in the name of love) would have said "lick my shoe" then you guys would have celebrated it by calling it…
