Mohit Suri calls himself a Sandeep Reddy Vanga 'fan', recalls messaging him after watching ‘Animal’: ‘We make his films controversial’

Director Mohit Suri has come out strongly in support of Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Praising the ‘Animal’ director’s unique style, Mohit even called himself a “fan”. In a chat about today’s cinema and how people react to Sandeep’s movies.‘We make his films controversial’Speaking to Filmygyan, the ‘Ek Villain’ director pointed out that people often blow things out of proportion when it comes to Sandeep’s stories. “I love his films. Hum banate hai use controversial (We make his films controversial). Ye same kahani aap kisi gangster ke sath karo — Bhatt sahab ne kiya hai Sadak mein. (You make Sandeep kind of films with a gangster, in fact, Mahesh Bhatt has made ‘Sadak’ like that). We are from that school of cinema. Ram Gopal Varma has made such films too.

Everyone has the right to make their films. You have a right to like it or not like it,” Mohit said.By mentioning Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Sadak’ and the work of Ram Gopal Varma, Mohit made it clear that dark and intense films are not new to Indian cinema. Big difference between ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Kabir Singh’Suri also shared his thoughts on the two films that brought Sandeep into the spotlight, ‘Arjun Reddy’ and its Hindi version ‘Kabir Singh’. Many people think both movies are exactly the same, but Mohit disagrees.

“Very few people think ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Kabir Singh’ have no difference. I feel there is a big difference between the two films. There is more emotion in the second part. I loved ‘Animal’. I messaged him during ‘Animal’ that I am a Sandeep Reddy Vanga fan,” he added.Mohit’s next film ‘Saiyaara’While Mohit is happy to talk about Sandeep’s cinema, he is also busy with his own new film. His next release is the romantic drama ‘Saiyaara’. It stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, who play a singer-songwriter pair caught up in love, dreams and heartbreak. The trailer has already won praise from the industry. The film is set to hit cinemas on 18 July.
