Did Radikaa Sarakumar take a dig at Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal? Fans think so

Animal, the action drama that stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, finally had its much-awaited OTT release recently. The blockbuster film, which is helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is currently streaming on Netflix in five languages. As you may know, Animal is one of the most criticised Indian films of recent times. Despite emerging as a massive success at the box office, the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer failed to impress a massive section of audiences, who feel the film is extremely problematic.

Recently, senior South Indian actress Radikaa Sarathkumar took to her official X (formerly Twitter) handle and dropped a post, taking a dig at a recent film. Even though Radikaa refrained from revealing the name of the movie, the veteran actress stated that she ‘cringed’ watching it.

However, a few other netizens, who also think that Radikaa Sarathkumar is taking a dig at Animal, criticised the actress for the same. “If it’s animal, sadly as an artist you are sitting on your retired chair and judging work’ And also considering that millions who watched and cracked it with 500 crore blockbuster are cringeworthy shows the lack of tolerance! As usual, it’s not old school running around trees behind the hero, so I understand ur anger lol,” reads the comment of a follower.
