'Sandeep Reddy Vanga engaged in fights, behaved obnoxiously, he even told Javed sahab...,' says Varun Grover, adding that Anurag Kashyap defended him, not his film
After the release of 's 'Animal', had shared a picture with the director and penned a long note to praise his work. Meanwhile, what caught everyone's attention were comments from director and screenwriter, lyricist . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While Neeraj commented, 'Cringe', Grover wrote, 'No'. Now in a recent interview, Varun has further elaborated on his comment and why he said so. He said that Anurag didn't defend the film but he was defending the director. He said, "See, if anyone defends a film or a work of art, no matter how divisive or politically incorrect it is, I'll definitely understand their viewpoint, no matter how I myself don't agree with the film. So, to defend a work of art is one thing. But to defend an artist is another thing. I have always believed that I'm never against or in support of a person. I'm always either in favour of an idea or against it. I thought in that post, Mr. Kashyap was not defending the film, but the filmmaker and defending his behaviour. There was nothing in the post about the film, but all about the filmmaker.' He further spoke about Vanga's persona and his behaviour publicly, including his social media posts. He sad, "He is a filmmaker who, on Twitter or social media, has engaged in fights and behaved obnoxiously. If I recall correctly, he even told Javed saab that he can't write or doesn't have a sense of writing, and he said it very arrogantly and rudely. So, I thought, if Mr. Kashyap had defended the film in any way, it would have been fine. I would've never said anything. I said 'No' because I thought: you are shielding the filmmaker, not the film." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Grover further praised Kashyap and revealed that the 'Dev D' director called him immediately after his comment. "The special thing about Anurag Kashyap is that he has an open heart and mind. He immediately talks, immediately tries to understand you. So, within half an hour, he called and said, 'Explain to me. What happened? What's the problem here?' So we talked, and he agreed, he said, 'Yeah, you're in the right.' Even later, I went to meet him and we've talked about it many times since then. " He added that Kashyap doesn't believe in hierarchy and that's what makes him stand apart. Varun said, "The best thing about Kashyap is that he never believed in any hierarchy. He's not like, 'Oh, how can you tell me this?' or 'I won't listen to this person.' That kind of hierarchy doesn't exist on his film sets, nor in his life.' For those not in the know, Anurag's note about Sandeep read, "Had a great evening with @ The most misunderstood, judged and reviled filmmaker at the moment. To me he is the most honest, vulnerable and a lovely person. I wanted to meet the man and I had questions, and he answered everything I asked of him about his film, that I actually saw twice. Thank you for being patient and being yourself. This is a person you can actually confront and talk to. Please talk to him about the problems you have with the film. 40 days since I first saw Animal and 22 days since I saw it the second time. The biggest game changer of Hindi cinema in the longest time, and a film whose impact, good or bad, can't be denied. And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin. Great evening spent with him.'

This advanced exercise should be approached with caution and proper guidance to avoid injury - especially for beginners. Extended arm plank: A variation of the standard plank, this move strengthens the core, improves posture, and enhances stability. You perform it like the normal plank but your arms should be positioned further than in a regular plank. TRX single squat: A functional lower-body strength exercise that builds strength, power, stability, and balance. It targets your quadriceps and glutes. Sissy squat: A bodyweight leg exercise that pumps the quadriceps and improves knee and hip mobility. It is a tricky exercise that requires you to bend at the knees and lean backward so be careful when you perform this exercise. Push-ups: A bodyweight exercise, this exercise helps build upper body strength and muscle, improve core stability, and burn calories. For this, start in a high plank position then slowly lower your body then push back up to return to the initial position. Keep your body in a straight line throughout the movement to make sure your core and glutes are engaged. Pull-ups: A classic upper-body strength exercise, it targets your back, biceps, and other supporting muscles. It is one of the best exercises to strengthen your arms, biceps, and core muscles. Phew! Alia Bhatt sure knows how to sweat it out at the gym and she is doing so with the help of a fitness trainer. If you want to follow in her footsteps, you can but don't forget to check with your healthcare provider first.

‘Sandeep Reddy Vanga engaged in fights, behaved obnoxiously': Varun Grover says Anurag Kashyap ‘shielded filmmaker, not film' in Instagram post
Everyone in the film industry remembers the moment when Anurag Kashyap posted a photo with Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, accompanied by a long caption defending the controversial filmmaker. The post drew widespread attention, not just for Kashyap's words, but for the reactions in the comments section. Among them were two particularly popular responses: filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan simply wrote 'Cringe,' while screenwriter-lyricist Varun Grover commented 'No.' Now, in a recent interview with The Lallantop, Grover has finally spoken about the reasoning behind his comment and what prompted such a blunt response. 'See, if anyone defends a film or a work of art, no matter how divisive or politically incorrect it is, I'll definitely understand their viewpoint, no matter how I myself don't agree with the film,' Grover explained. 'So, to defend a work of art is one thing. But to defend an artist is another thing.' He continued, 'I have always believed that I'm never against or in support of a person. I'm always either in favour of an idea or against it. I thought in that post, Mr. Kashyap was not defending the film, but the filmmaker — and defending his behaviour. There was nothing in the post about the film, but all about the filmmaker.' Grover pointed out that Vanga's public persona has often been combative and problematic. 'He is a filmmaker who, on Twitter or social media, has engaged in fights and behaved obnoxiously. If I recall correctly, he even told Javed saab that he can't write or doesn't have a sense of writing, and he said it very arrogantly and rudely,' Grover said. 'So, I thought, if Mr. Kashyap had defended the film in any way, it would have been fine. I would've never said anything. I said 'No' because I thought: you are shielding the filmmaker, not the film.' Also Read | Varun Grover says people 'would be flocking to the theaters' if All India Rank was titled Animal 2: 'More people would come to watch it' Grover also shared what happened immediately after he left that comment. Within half an hour, Kashyap called him. 'The special thing about Anurag Kashyap is that he has an open heart and mind,' Grover recalled. 'He immediately talks, immediately tries to understand you. So, within half an hour, he called and said, 'Explain to me. What happened? What's the problem here?' So we talked, and he agreed, he said, 'Yeah, you're in the right.' Even later, I went to meet him and we've talked about it many times since then.' Grover emphasized that Kashyap is someone who doesn't operate within hierarchies. 'The best thing about Kashyap is that he never believed in any hierarchy. He's not like, 'Oh, how can you tell me this?' or 'I won't listen to this person.' That kind of hierarchy doesn't exist on his film sets, nor in his life.' For those unfamiliar with the original controversy, here's what happened: On Instagram, Kashyap posted a photo with Sandeep Reddy Vanga and wrote: 'Had a great evening with @ The most misunderstood, judged and reviled filmmaker at the moment. To me he is the most honest, vulnerable and a lovely person. I wanted to meet the man and I had questions, and he answered everything I asked of him about his film, that I actually saw twice.

The biggest game changer of Hindi cinema in the longest time, and a film whose impact, good or bad, can't be denied. And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin. Great evening spent with him.' Shared post on Time Later, while appearing on his daughter Aaliyah Kashyap's podcast Young, Dumb & Anxious, Kashyap was asked: 'What in the world was the Sandeep Reddy Vanga post?' Justifying himself, he replied, 'I met him. I like him. I like the guy. I've had questions of my own, and I wanted to talk to him about his film (Animal). I invited him and had a long, five-hour conversation, and I like the guy.'
