Ranbir Kapoor reacts to the criticism for his films

Ranbir Kapoor made waves with his last few films, particularly Sanju and Animal. In 2018, he took on the lead role in Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju, a biopic of actor Sanjay Dutt. Last year, he starred in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal. Despite their box office success, both movies faced criticism from some movie buffs.

During a press interaction, Ranbir Kapoor was questioned about the impact of his films Sanju and Animal on the audience. Responding to the critique of the movies, a reporter mentioned that the mass entertainers portrayed a significant amount of negativity and violence in society.

After attentively hearing out the journalist, the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil star began by expressing his alignment with the media professional's viewpoints. Ranbir emphasized that as an actor, it is their duty to create films that inspire positive societal change. However, he also highlighted the significance of exploring diverse characters and genres in his acting career.

“But what you’re saying is absolutely correct. We have to be more responsible towards the kind of films we make,” the actor concluded.

At his recent presence at the 50th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, he shared his immense thrill about teaming up with the renowned filmmaker after a span of 17 years.

Ranbir said, "I am extremely excited, and even now, I mean he is my godfather, and everything I know about films and acting, is something I learned from him. For me, working with him again after 17 years, it still feels the same. I am still in awe of him and I still respect him so much."

He further added, “He (Sanjay) hasn't changed at all. He is somebody extremely hard-working, all he thinks about is his movies. He just wants to speak about the character, he wants you to create, and do something different. So extremely exciting.”
