Arshad Warsi Says He Won't Do Film Like Ranbir Kapoor's Animal: 'I Like P*rn But I Don't Want To...'

Arshad Warsi lauded Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal but said he would not do a film like it. Animal released earlier this month and has been doing great business at the box office. The film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Despite the controversies it has courted, Arshad praised the film in a new interview. The Munna Bhai MBBS actor called the film ‘a male version of Kill Bill’ and added that he ‘loved the film’. However, when he asked if he would work with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, he polietly declined.

“All the serious actors may hate the film, but I love the film. It was like the male version of Kill Bill. My whole point of view is different, I look at films as complete entertainment and when you go to theatre this is what you want to watch. I don’t want to think too hard, don’t teach me, don’t give me lessons, I learned it in school,” he told Bollywood Hungama in a new interview.

Speaking about working with Vanga or in a movie like Animal, Arshad explained, “There are things that we like to see but not do. Animal would come in that bracket. For instance, when Indra Kumar called me to do Grand Masti, I don’t like those kind of films. I don’t like sex comedies. I don’t mind watching it, it’s funny but I don’t want to do it. So, as an audience I like to see it, but as an actor I don’t want to do it. I like porn but I don’t want to do it.”

Meanwhile, Manoj Bajpayee, who was also seated in the chat, also lauded the film. “You can’t just go by the name of the filmmaker but you have to see what is being offered. If everything is okay then why can’t we do the film?” he said.

Animal has been called out by a massive section of social media for glorifying misogyny. However, despite the controversies, the film has earned over Rs 800 crores worldwide at the box office.
