Javed had said that it is dangerous for such films to become hits. In such a situation, now the team of âAnimalâ has responded to Javed Akhtar.
Writer of your caliber cannot understand the betrayal of a lover (Between Zoya & Ranvijay) then all your art form is big FALSE đ & If a woman (betrayed and fooled by a man in the name of love) would have said âlick my shoe â then you guys would have celebrated it by calling itâŚ

âAnimalâ team gave this answer
The team of the film âAnimalâ posted on But if a man had been deceived and fooled and said âLick my shoeâ then you people would have celebrated it by calling it feminism. Let love be free from gender politics. Letâs just call them lovers. The lover cheated and lied. Lover said lick my shoe, period.
Javed Akhtar had said this
Let us tell you that Javed Akhtar had said, âI believe that this is a test time for todayâs young filmmakers as to what kind of characters they want to create, which the society will appreciate. For example, if thereâs a movie where a man asks a woman to lick his shoes or if a man says itâs okay to slap a woman, and if the movie is a super duper hit, then thatâs very dangerous. .â
