One of the netizens said, “I felt it like pure disrespect behavior, being in the position of a Minister he shouldn’t have told this. #Prabhas once said : In the future there won’t be North & South, there will be only one industry “Indian Industry” Yet another social media user added, “He attempted to portray the Telugu film industry as superior, labeling other industries and their people as stupid and far behind. The individual even went as far as suggesting that actors like #RanbirKapoor would seek refuge in Hyderabad in the coming years”.
Coming to Animal, the film, also starring Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, and Triptii Dimri in key roles, is slated for release on December 1 in all South languages and Hindi.
