Siddhant Karnick talks about an Animal scene
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Siddhant Karnick spoke about Animal. He plays the role of Varun Pratap Malhotra, who is Reet’s (Saloni Batra) husband and Vijay’s (Ranbir Kapoor) brother-in-law. Siddhant spoke about the scene where Ranbir’s character asks Triptii Dimri’s character to lick his shoe to prove that she loves him. He said, “It was unsettling, but I also felt, ‘Wow what a choice for a character and a very courageous choice to make for the director.’ At the end of the day, Sandeep sir is getting the flak. That’s when he turned an anti-hero to me from a hero.”
He further added that the scene portrayed the character’s “psycho-ness”. “I felt damn unsettled with that scene. But now when I think about, it was also so good, it makes you react,” he said.
