Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has heaped praises on Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Sharing a series of photos from their recent meet, the director called Vanga the ‘most misunderstood’, ‘judged’ and ‘reviled’ filmmaker at the moment.
Along with the pictures, Anurag penned a long note for the Animal director which read, "Had a great evening with @sandeepreddy.vanga . The most misunderstood, judged and reviled Filmaker at the moment. To me he is the most honest, vulnerable and a lovely human being. And I really don't give a f""" what any one thinks of him or his film. I wanted to meet the man and I had questions and he answered everything I asked of him about his film that I actually saw twice. Thank you for being patient and being yourself. 40'days since I first saw ANIMAL and 22 days since I saw it the second time. The biggest game changer of Hindi cinema in the longest time and a film whose impact (good or bad) which can't be denied. And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin. Great evening spent with him."
