Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal, which released on December 1, has emerged as one of the biggest hits of the year, earning around Rs 480 crore worldwide. The film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is known for his previous films Arjun Reddy (2017) and Kabir Singh (2019). The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna.
Triptii, who made her debut with Laila Majnu (2018) and was acclaimed for her performances in Bulbbull and Qala has now received even wider recognition for her role in Animal.
Triptii on her newfound success with Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal
Speaking to Indian Express, Triptii Dimri said, “This was my theatrical film after so long. I had forgotten how it feels to look at yourself on the big screen. Animal reminded me of that. Of course, a big theatrical film comes with its own impact, it reaches a different, perhaps wider audience. So many people who discovered me in Animal have now gone back and watched Bulbbull and Qala. That’s precisely the dream of an actor, that their work should be discovered by newer audiences.”
Talking about the social media chatter and her rapidly increasing numbers on social media, she added, “The first day there wasn’t much that was said about me so I was like, ‘Ok, that happens. I did my best but at least people are liking the film.’ But slowly the tide changed, people started talking and now it hasn’t stopped!”
Triptii opens up about the controversial scene where Ranbir’s character asks her to lick his shoe
Triptii Dimri, who plays Zoya in the film, has opened up about her controversial scene with Ranbir Kapoor, where he asks her to lick his shoe to prove her love for him. The scene has sparked a lot of debate among the viewers and critics, who have accused the film of being misogynistic and degrading to women.
Triptii has addressed the controversy surrounding the scene in question. Triptii admits that the scene ‘lick my shoe’ that everyone’s been talking about on the internet was thoroughly discussed between her, Ranbir and Vanga.
“It reminded me of what my acting coach had told me, the golden rule: Never judge your character,” Tripti said. “The characters you are playing, the character your co-actor is playing, all are human and humans have good and bad side. An actor must be prepared to play characters across the spectrum of good, bad and ugly, but if you judge a character’s motivations, thoughts, you won’t be able to play it with honesty. So that’s what I kept in mind.”
She continued, “I also thought that here was a woman who talks about killing his wife, father, kids, the entire family… If someone tells me that, I will perhaps beat that person! Here, he does ask her to do that (lick his shoe) but also walks away later. He clearly is going through a lot of these (intense thoughts). Later when his cousins asks her what they should do with me, he says ‘Let her go wherever she wants to.'”
