"It's Not My Kind Of Film": Konkona On Wake Up Sid Co-Star Ranbir's Animal

Amid viewers expressing a divided opinion on the recent Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal, with some delivering high praise for the film while others signalling their dismay at its depiction of violence and misogyny, actor Konkona Sensharma has sought to justify the portrayal of violence in the movie.

In an interview with ANI, the actor said, “I don’t have a problem with depicting violence on screen as long as there is very good reason for it. Even sex. I don’t have a problem with viewing sex but I don’t want to be there just for the sake of it. I don’t want to see violence just for the sake of it. I don’t want to see sex for the sake of it.

“There has to be a reason why it’s there in the film because it connects to the characters or it connects to the plot, or whatever it has to justify itself. That is one thing, why is it there? What is the intent of the director?”
