Ranbir Kapoor starrer cult action blockbuster Animal has turned out to be one of the most commercially successful Bollywood films of this year. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial has also received its share of criticism for the bold and violent content. One among those scenes which got fair share of popularity is the one where Ranbir takes a machine gun to classroom.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga spoke in detail about the scene in which Ranbir's character walks into college holding a gun. He said, “The whole emotion of the scene is when the boy enters the class, he asks, who teased my sister ? Everyone will be mocking him saying, now school kids will also tease us". Sandeep further explained that the teacher in the scene is talking about heat and mass transfer and in the background we see a bullet exiting a machine gun.
He further said that the “whole idea of this scene was to get that rifle in the face of the audience.” Vanga concluded by saying that the entire scene was a ‘jalwa’. “That girl says ‘ragging ka season toh abhi shuru bhi nahi hua hai, abhi toh jalwa baki hai’, cut to jalwa. Guitar music and him walking,” he added.
