In a recent interview with Zoom, Adil Hussain reiterated his stance on not wanting to be a part of films like Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Despite the allure of a hefty sum of ₹200 crore, Adil stood firm in his decision, emphasizing that certain films don’t align with his values and beliefs.
Addressing Vanga’s previous comments about his filmography primarily consisting of ‘art films,’ Adil responded with grace, stating that such remarks lack substance and are merely reactive in nature. He further expressed his disinterest in watching Animal, deeming it as not his type of cinema.
Reflecting on the success and controversies surrounding Animal, which starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, and Triptii Dimri, Adil emphasized the importance of choosing roles that resonate with his moral compass. The film garnered mixed reactions for its portrayal of violence and misogyny, sparking debates among viewers and critics alike.
Despite the polarizing nature of Animal, Adil remains focused on his upcoming project, the Janhvi Kapoor starrer action-thriller Ulajh. With a commitment to roles that align with his principles, Adil’s steadfast approach to his craft sets him apart in the ever-evolving landscape of Bollywood.
As the industry continues to diversify and explore narratives, Adil’s unwavering dedication to meaningful storytelling serves as a testament to his integrity and artistic vision. In a world driven by commercial success, Adil Hussain stands as a beacon of authenticity, choosing roles that resonate with his soul rather than his bank account.
