Huma Qureshi Calls Animal ‘Crafty’, Says She LOVED The Machismo: ‘Want To Do A Film Where I Can…’

Actor Huma Qureshi has said that she wants to do a film like Animal where she can “hold a machine gun, killing thousands of people.” Speaking to India Today, she praised the “machismo, action, and music” of Animal, calling it “a very crafty film.” Huma also discussed the polarising nature of the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film that has been making headlines since its release.

Huma said, “I loved the film and really enjoyed it. I loved the machismo, action and music. It is a very crafty film and I feel like all kind of films should be made and, as an audience, it is your choice whether you want to watch that film or not. I would love to do a film where I can hold a machine gun, killing thousands of people. I think, as an actor, it is very exciting to be part of something that is so destructive is the way. That’s the way I would put it. When I see a Wolf of Wall Street or edgy films and I see an Animal, I think, as an actor, it is very exciting to play something like that. There is something about it. I don’t know what it is.”

Huma also opened up on the mixed reactions to Animal, saying, such conversations need to be had about films.”It is very polarising and one must have these kinds of debates about films and how they impact people. But if films impacted [society] so much, then I feel we have been making such great films, so the society should have improved by now. If it has not improved by now, it won’t even get worse now. I am saying make Animal and make Maharani as well. As long as people like it, they will watch it,” she said.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal released in December last year amid much anticipation. The film became an instant hit and went on to do massive business at the box office. However, the film did not sit well with a section of people.
