Adil Hussain, known for his powerful performances, recently made headlines for his candid remarks about his experience working with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. In a recent interview, Hussain expressed his unwavering stance against Vanga’s criticisms and also revealed his firm decision to reject a role in the film ‘Animal’, despite a lucrative offer of Rs 100-200 crore.
The controversy between Adil Hussain and Sandeep Reddy Vanga originated from their collaboration on the film ‘Animal’. Hussain had previously criticized the film for its misogyny, prompting a strong reaction from Vanga who called the actor ‘greedy’ and expressed regret over casting him in the movie. Vanga even went as far as suggesting replacing Hussain’s face with AI technology in the film.
When questioned about Vanga’s remarks in a recent interaction, Adil Hussain stood his ground with grace and confidence. Addressing Vanga’s comments regarding his filmography and comparing it to the success of ‘Kabir Singh’, Hussain highlighted his involvement in Ang Lee’s ‘Life of Pi’, which he noted was a much greater commercial success than ‘Kabir Singh’. He expressed his disappointment at Vanga’s perspective, stating, ‘Very unfortunate that he thinks like that. His film did a lot of box office collection so probably he thinks like that.’
Furthermore, Hussain dismissed Vanga’s claims about his involvement in ’30 art films’ as a reactive comment and emphasized that it lacked substance. When asked about his opinion on ‘Animal’, the actor unequivocally stated, ‘Never. Even if they paid me Rs 100-200 crore, I would never do it.’ This firm rejection underscores his commitment to his principles and values.
In a previous interview on AP Podcast’s YouTube channel, Adil Hussain had openly shared his regret for his role in ‘Kabir Singh’. He described the experience of watching the film in theaters and feeling embarrassed, ultimately walking out after 20 minutes. Despite the financial temptation, Hussain’s integrity and artistic standards remained uncompromised.
Adil Hussain’s steadfast resolve in the face of criticism and his unwavering dedication to his principles continue to exemplify his integrity as an actor. Stay tuned for more updates on Bollywood news, entertainment insights, and intriguing stories on HeadlineFly.com.
