Ever since the release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, Triptii Dimri has been ruling headlines. Several videos of her intimate scenes with Ranbir Kapoor from the film are also going viral on social media. Amid all this, the actress has now revealed that the scene which involved nudity was shot after “many discussions”.
In a recent interview with Indian Express, Tripti Dimri recalled that Vanga had “categorically” told her about the intimate scene while pitching the movie. He had told her that the scene will be “aesthetically” shot and that she needs to be comfortable for it.
“The day he offered me the film, Sandeep sir had categorically told me, ‘Hey this is the scene I want to shoot; I am looking at it this way. I promise you that it won’t be vulgar, that it will be aesthetically shot. But I have to look for your comfort. So if you are not comfortable, we will think of a different way to do it. But you need to tell me honestly,’” Triptii recalled.
The actress admitted that she took some time before giving a go-ahead for the scene. “When you sign a project, you do with the understanding of what you are getting into. The rape scene in Bulbull was more traumatic, this wasn’t. There I had to leave behind myself to portray that on screen. When you sign a film, you have to make sure you give your 100 percent,” she added.
Triptii further revealed that the entire set was closed down when the scene was shot. Only four people were allowed and monitors were also shut to make her feel comfortable. “When you are made to feel that safe and comfortable, then you feel good. It felt like a safe space, of working with people who respect you and the process. Safe sets are the most important. I was told that the set is closed and if I feel the need to stop, I could say cut as well. That’s what gave me immense confidence as well,” she said.
Triptii Dimri played the role of Zoya in Animal. Released on December 1, the film revolves around a man and his toxic relationship with his father. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it shows Vijay (played by Ranbir) as an anti-hero who would go to any lengths to protect his father, including gun down 200 people with machine gun. However, despite his efforts, he struggles to get a seal of approval from his emotionally unavailable father (played by Anil Kapoor). His unhealthy relationship with his father impacts his relationship with his wife (played by Rashmika Mandanna).
Animal has been accused of glorifying misogyny and toxic masculinity by several social media users. However, despite everything, the film is going immensely well at the box office. It has already crossed Rs 400 crore mark at the Indian box office.
