Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Animal' has emerged as one of the biggest hit films of this year. However, some sections of people liked the film very much while some labeled it as toxic. Now, during an interview session actor Saiyami Kher has shared her thoughts on Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial.

During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Saiyami was asked about her opinion on the film. The actor said if she has to watch a Ranbir Kapoor film, she would rather watch 'Rockstar' and 'Barfi' as he is “the best the country has” but she won’t revisit 'Animal.'

Saiyami said, “Personally, for me, I have been told very strongly do not tell your opinions, because nobody wants to hear that. But I was very triggered, very disturbed. Every director has the right to make everything that one wants, but somewhere, you have a responsibility towards people. Cinema has the power to influence people and I truly believe that, in the good and in the bad way.”

Saiyami said the monstrous response to 'Animal' and its historic box office collections left her puzzled, as it felt detached from the kind of films she enjoys and what people are lapping up. “I was a little confused, because if this is what the country is watching, then where do I stand in this? It is not just men, it is women who are loving the film as well. He is a very talented filmmaker because he has held your attention. But I was not a big fan of the way a lot of things were shown. I am not the biggest fan of that kind of cinema."

'Animal' has emerged as one of the biggest hits of the Hindi film industry this year, trailing only Shah Rukh Khan’s 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan.'
