RGV on Animal Impact
Ram Gopal Varma said the extreme violence in Animal haunts him even today. He said "It was more impactful than seeing armies fighting each other. In fact, I remember narrating Shiva to Nagarjuna when he was shooting for Agni Putrudu. I told him that the violence in Shiva would be more gritty than bombs being burst and knives being slashed."
He added "I felt the same thing with Ranbir's scenes in Animal, especially the low-angle shot. It haunts me even now."
