Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Animal’s fight scenes
During a recent interaction with Galatta Plus, Sandeep Reddy Vanga mentioned that throughout his life, he has always been captivated by imperfect characters in movies. He said, “Whatever films I liked in my childhood were all of flawed men. When I went to film school, I was exposed to flawed men watching the movies of David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, and Stanley Kubrick. So, I felt like this is a zone in which I can tell stories.”
Recognizing that a particular fight scene in Animal drew inspiration from Kill Bill, Sandeep mentioned that the inspiration comes from Kill Bill. In Kill Bill, there’s a fight scene that seems to go on forever. It completely captivated him, and he found himself watching it multiple times, completely engrossed.
He said, “The inspiration is from Kill Bill. In Kill Bill there is fight sequence that is never ending. I was hooked to it. I saw it multiple times and saw it holding my attention. First, when I saw that scene in Kill Bill, I thought it was so smartly done. That remained in me. When I read in the reviews that Kill Bill style action was used in Animal, then I realized it.”
