The last film that Sandeep Reddy Vanga made was the Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Animal', which atracted controversy for its misogynistic and problematic take. However, after its release, the film became Netflix's highest-viewed film. But now this record has been broken, and guess by which film? It is Kiran Rao's directorial 'Laapataa Ladies that has broken Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal' record.

About Kiran Rao and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Debate
In one of his interviews with Dainik Bhaskar, Vanga pulled out an old comment of Kiran and said, “This morning, my AD showed me an article. It is of the second ex-wife of a superstar. She is saying that films like 'Bahubali 2' and 'Kabir Singh' promote misogyny and stalking. I think she does not know the difference between stalking and approaching.” Vanga also called out Aamir Khan’s 'Dil' movie song, "Khambe Jaisi Khadi Hai."
Later, Kiran responded to Vanga, saying, "I haven't commented on Mr. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's films because I haven't seen them. Why Mr. Vanga Reddy has assumed that I am talking about his film, you will have to ask him.”
She also said that Vanga should talk to Aamir Khan man-to-man if he has an issue with any of his films, as Kiran is not responsible for Aamir’s work or Aamir Khan. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more information on this and everything else in the world of streaming and films.
