Bobby Deol On His Marital Rape Scene In 바카라˜Animal바카라™: It Is Creating Awareness That This Kind Of Cruelty Happens 

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor along with Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor in key roles.

Actor Bobby Deol is riding high on the success of his latest release, 바카라˜Animal바카라™. However, the film has been criticised for depiction of toxic masculinity, and glorification of misogynist behaviour. Now after Triptii Dimri and Mansi Taxak, the actor has opened up about the controversial marital rape scene in his new film 바카라˜Animal바카라™.

In an interview with The Quint, Bobby said that he doesn바카라™t pay attention to film reviews, and called them a 바카라˜waste of energy바카라™. Bobby also said that he doesn바카라™t view his character Abrar Haque as a villain at all. 

When asked about the marital rape scene in the film, Bobby said, 바카라œI바카라™m not trying to promote anything. Yes, it was required. How do you showcase a character in such a short span, show what this man is capable of, what kind of person he is? All these scenes were required.바카라Â 

Considering the Indian film audience already worships movie stars in India, has he ever thought that a film like 바카라˜Animal바카라™ can have an influence on the masses? To which, he said, 바카라œWe are influenced by what is happening in society as filmmakers. What is written, as a story, is an influence of what is happening in society. It exists in our society. We are not promoting it. We are actors, portraying characters, entertaining people. And if that was the case, this film wouldn바카라™t be a big hit.바카라

He further mentioned that his web series, 바카라˜Aashram바카라™, was also controversial, and it managed to draw huge viewership numbers. 바카라œI can바카라™t get influenced by a film. Maybe you바카라™ll get influenced to dance with a glass on your head,바카라 the actor said, adding,바카라œThis is what바카라™s happening in our society, and (Animal) is creating awareness that this kind of cruelty happens in the world we live in. I바카라™ve seen it personally in so many places.바카라

Previously, actor Mansi Taxak, who was seen as the youngest of Abrar바카라™s three wives, had said about the scene during a chat with Zoom Entertainment, 바카라œIt was just that Bobby sir did not expect his brother바카라™s death news to come on the wedding, which puts the character into a zone where he couldn바카라™t think straight. And that바카라™s what we바카라™re talking about, right? Animal instincts are unpredictable instincts. So he goes into that zone, and to vent out his emotions, he comes to his wives. I don바카라™t think it was intended to be any sort of assault. I didn바카라™t feel it on the set, or in the script. That was not the case. It was just a relationship between two people that has panned out the way it did.바카라
