Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Animal was undoubtedly the biggest surprise at the box office this year. When the makers released the trailer, people did think that the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial was bound to be a hit among the audience. However, nobody expected the crazy Box office collections that the film managed to attract. Keeping aside the box office wave, the movie was bashed vehemently for its misogynistic approach and glorification of violence. Animal actors like Siddhant Karnick and Saloni Batra have already opened about the problematic approach of the film. Actor Mansi Taxak who played Bobby Deol’s on-screen wife in Animal, recently shared her views on the marital rape scene in the movie featuring her and Bobby Deol.
