Farhan Akhtar is also a multi-talented man known for his acting, singing, and direction. He has also acted and directed a splendid hit of films. Meanwhile, the video of Farhan Akhtar is surfacing on the direction in movies in which he recently voiced his views on 'Animal', one of the most hit and controversial movies of 2023, wherein the lead role has been played by actor Ranbir Kapoor. The movie is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. According to Amar Ujala, in an interview, Farhan admitted that he did not like the film 'Animal' and the character played by Ranbir Kapoor in the film seemed problematic.

According to Amar Ujala, during an interview, Farhan said, "The film 'Animal' is nothing special. Is it a film that I would recommend anyone to watch, I don't think so." When asked if he got the opportunity to produce Animal, he replied, "No, I would not. I think this character (played by Ranbir Kapoor) is problematic." Farhan Akhtar further said, "I don't believe that some things should not be shown. We are in such a field where if someone tells me, 'You cannot make a film like this', then I will say, 'Who are you to tell me what I should make and what I should not?' I am allowed by the law of this country and I have the freedom to say whatever I want. What the audience wants to hear, they will decide. I will never say to any filmmaker or writer or producer or anyone, 'Yaar doesn't make it', or, 'This kind of film cannot be made'. Everyone has their own opinion because I don't think it is dangerous to do so."

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Animal has been a topic of discussion since its release in December 2023. In this film, Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Tripti Dimri won everyone's hearts with their strong performances. Although the film had to face controversies, the film has been a big hit at the box office. Despite the criticism, the film earned around Rs 800 crore in global box office collections. Now fans are eagerly waiting for Ranbir's film 'Animal 2'.
