MUMBAI : Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, one of the biggest hits of 2023, did make a lot of money, but both the audience and several critics criticized the film for elevating misogynistic, aggressive men to heroic status. Actor Kunal Kapoor has already commented on the movie, saying that "today the audience accepts all kinds of heroes," in contrast to some years before.

Kunal said, “Today, the audience accepts all kinds of heroes. You have characters like Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh and Ranbir Kapoor in Animal. These characters would not have worked maybe 10-12 years ago because people expected heroes to be a certain way. The more we stretch that mould, the better it is for everybody.”
Kunal, who has been part of films like Rang De Basanti (2006), Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana (2012) and Gold (2018), how storytelling has changed over the years.
He said, “When I started out, there were certain kinds of movies that would be made, and the hero was expected to be of a certain kind. You had to fit into a mould, which I didn’t. There were certain expectations about the kind of films that you had to do. And I didn’t enjoy those films. Fortunately, what’s happened is that the mould has changed now and different kinds of characters are being written, and different stories are being made. That’s the kind of space I enjoy.”
