Rajkummar Rao is currently riding high on the success of his latest release Stree 2. The film is having a bumper run at the box office. The actor recently shared his thoughts on Bollywood’s most talked about movie Animal headlined by Ranbir Kapoor. He even spoke on the classic Shah Rukh Khan film Devdas. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial Animal sparked controversies with several celebrities expressing their opinion positive or negative. It also faced criticism and backlash while many loved the film and Rajkummar is one among them. On the other hand, he glorified SRK’s musical romance drama Devdas.

Appearing on Raj Shamani's podcast, talking about Animal, Rajkummar said, "I loved Animal, the experience of watching Animal. I enjoyed it. Did I have some issues with the film? Maybe. Some scenes here and there, yes. But did I not enjoy the film? Of course not, I enjoyed the film, I enjoyed the experience of watching the film. I loved Ranbir Kapoor in it and his performance in the film was mind-blowing.” The actor even mentioned that a film critic said that the film was titled Animal and not Adarsh Purush, as the director wanted to show the story of an "animal".

In the same conversation, the actor spoke about Devdas. He said, “If you want to become Devdas after watching it, the problem is in you. You have been shown a story that there might be some guy like Devdas. He (Director) isn't asking anyone to become like him, and it's based on a book... It's a character story. He dies in the end. He is telling you if you do this, you gonna die sooner. He is not telling you that he is facing all these, still he is living well and has a lot of money.”

Animal is an action drama film revolving around a toxic father-son relationship starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. The film directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga collected 917 crore worldwide.
