The highlight? His unabashed praise for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, particularly the scene where “a young Ranbir Kapoor walks into a classroom with a machine gun.” RGV called it one of the most impactful moments in recent cinema, applauding its raw intensity.
While discussing contemporary filmmaking, RGV also touched on his own upcoming project—Crime Syndicate, a futuristic thriller about a criminal empire destabilizing India. Known for his gritty narratives, Varma promises a dark exploration of organized crime’s evolution in the digital age.
