Months after its OTT launch, ETimes spoke to Siddhant Karnick, who performed the position of Ranbir’s brother-in-law within the film, and one of many first victims of his rage within the narrative.Recalling his first day of shoot, Siddhant shared, “The confrontation scene between Ranbir and me was the primary scene that I needed to shoot. I used to be very nervous that Sandeep sir was making me do such an intense scene on my first day. And whereas we have been all speaking, Anil sir advised that possibly we must always shoot the household {photograph} scene first after which go into the heavy dialogue later within the day. That was a giant aid for me. I could not say something, you understand, to inform a director to vary scenes, I’ve no authority for that. However when Anil sir advised that, Sandeep sir went with it. The household {photograph} scene made us perceive the dynamics between all of the actors. Though I knew it was a father son story, the position of how Ranbir was standing away from the household gave me an excellent understanding of what the dynamics are inside that household.”
Apparently, the confrontational spat sequence was chopped down by 10 minutes for the ultimate lower! “It was really a 20 web page scene with 13 minutes of roll time, which was interspersed with Ranbir and me speaking, Saloni coming in, then Shakti sir coming in, then Anil sir coming in. We shot a 13 minute scene, which was very intense, however to stay to the size of three and a half hours, Sandeep sir needed to lower it to solely three and a half minutes,” revealed Siddhant.
Capturing within the warmth of Haryana with no AC, Siddhant described this as a difficult expertise, “We could not even activate the ACs as a result of it was all sync sound. So the sound of the AC, though it was a small little anaconda which was being put inside, it was not efficient. So we have been sweating, the dialogues have been heated, and you need to look cool whereas doing it. It was a really difficult scene, however hats off to Ranbir! He can be up early, understanding. And even in between photographs, he wouldn’t relaxation. When my close-ups have been being shot, he was proper behind the digital camera, giving me the cues, in all depth. Which is a really uncommon factor I’ve seen amongst stars and this gesture displays his professionalism. The truth that he selected to provide cues, and made positive that all of us have been contributing as a lot into the scene, fairly than taking away from the scene for himself, was respectful.”
Not simply ‘Animal’, however Siddhant additionally earned a lot reward for his efficiency in ‘Made in Heaven’ season 2, whereby he co-starred alongside Mrunal Thakur.

Some have trickled in, however nothing has labored out. No large movie provide has come to me, no good work has come. One anticipates that after the most important hit of the yr, there can be gives coming in, however that is not the case. I waited, considering possibly after ‘Animal’ releases on OTT, the movie’s fraternity will watch. However there’s been no one who’s reached out and stated, ‘Oh, we would prefer to signal you up for this’. I am conscious additionally that that is the character of our work, however I might prefer to put this throughout to those that are ready to get into the business, who’re on this phantasm that after you get successful image, your life is about. That is not the case, it’s a lengthy journey. I am sure it will have good repercussions, however I’ve to provide it time and endurance. Final yr was nice for me, Adipurush, Made in Heaven season 2 and Animal. However but initially of 2024, I discover myself not having signed any movie.”
In conclusion, Siddhant shares an attention-grabbing perspective on the conversations round poisonous masculinity, which ignited after the discharge of ‘Animal’. He shared, “Lately, my cousin was over from the US and he or she stated, ‘I have never watched the movie but, individuals are saying superb issues about it, however they are saying it is a very misogynistic movie’. My first response to that is, do not hearken to what individuals are saying. Watch it for your self after which resolve. Is it misogynistic or not? Is the message going out appropriate or not? Make a judgment for your self after watching it your self. Do not consider what others are saying as a result of others are burdened by their very own baggage, their very own perceptions.”
Defending the narrative round Ranbir’s character within the film, Siddhant added, “This whole poisonous masculinity character or the anti-hero that Ranbir is enjoying within the character of Ranvijay, at no level has Sandeep sir stated that that’s the approach that individuals must be. Actually, he is proven the counter to it that in case you have a poisonous masculinity character, you stand to lose rather a lot. Ranvijay misplaced his spouse, who he liked a lot, he misplaced his baby. Ultimately, he could not even get retribution from his father. So, is that the life you need to stay? However it’s getting taken out of context. You are not seeing the bigger image. You are simply taking an incident of him asking Zoya’s character to lick his shoe. Solely that in isolation. Observe his complete character graph. Is that the type of particular person you need to be or idolize? I believe ‘Animal’ additionally unfold consciousness about what’s incorrect, or {that a} relationship is poisonous, be it self-realization or a greater realization for the companions to know that they’re in a poisonous relationship they usually should be cautious about it. So, it’s instructional in the long run, if not taken out of context however seen as a complete.”
