Javed Akhtar did not like the movie Animal and felt that for such a movie to be successful is extremely dangerous. He found the 'lick my shoe' scene very inappropriate. He talked about the image of a hero. The veteran writer feels a hero's character and his image should be made with awareness of what is right and what is wrong. Akhtar said that the hero's character should not be taken lightly. He then talked about the lick my shoe scene and the scene of a man slapping a woman in a movie which went on to be a huge success. He found it to be dangerous.
Animal The Movie replied to his comment and called his art form false. His reaction to Javed Akhtar's comment was met with severe criticism. Netizens think Sandeep Reddy Vanga is handling the account on X (formerly Twitter). It is noted that Sandeep has slammed critics for calling out his movies.
