Minister Malla Reddy’s controversial statement during the promotion of the movie Animal has sparked a heated debate. Ranbir Kapoor, the film’s lead actor, found himself in a difficult situation as he had to endure the statement with a helpless smile. Animal, set to release in theaters on December 1st, 2023, has received a lot of attention during its promotional events. The team recently visited Hyderabad, where they were joined by renowned actor Mahesh Babu, filmmaker SS Rajamouli, and Minister of Labour and Employment, Telangana, Malla Reddy.
Minister Malla Reddy took the stage during the event and made a statement that ignited controversy. He directly addressed Ranbir Kapoor and boldly claimed that Telugu people would rule over India, Bollywood, and even Hollywood in the next five years. He further added that Ranbir would have to move to Hyderabad next year because Mumbai is considered outdated and Bengaluru is plagued with traffic jams. According to the minister, Hyderabad is the only city in India worth considering.
Ranbir Kapoor, caught off guard by the statement, could only smile helplessly without being able to react or respond. It was an uncomfortable moment for him, but he managed to maintain his composure.

The controversial comment made by Minister Malla Reddy quickly went viral on social media platforms, with many Telugu film fans expressing their disappointment and feeling ashamed. Netizens praised Ranbir Kapoor for handling the situation with patience and grace. However, some pointed out that the minister’s statement might have been politically motivated, as Telangana was approaching assembly elections.
Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, explores the complex and toxic relationship between a father and son, eventually leading the protagonist to become a feared gangster. Ranbir Kapoor takes on the leading role in this intense drama. The film also features an ensemble cast including Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Shakti Kapoor, Tripti Dimri, and many others.
It is worth noting that Animal has received an A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and has a runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes. Expectations are high for the movie, with many anticipating it to be even more violent than Vanga’s previous film, Kabir Singh.
While controversies often surround the promotion of films, it is unfortunate that this particular incident overshadowed the excitement surrounding Animal. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the film’s arrival in theaters, hoping to witness a powerful and captivating story unfold on the silver screen.
