Sandeep Reddy Vanga has once again sent shockwaves through Bollywood. However, this time, he shook the filmmakers in Hindi with the latest interview. Sandeep’s revelations and his way of spitting out facts through unapologetic interviews is a match made in heaven. Each time, he gets on to interact with someone, the media and the film circles will wait curiously to see what he has to deliver.
The biggest complaint that Sandeep faced from Bollywood and the media, in general, is that he glorifies toxic masculinity. The fact is that the same people who criticise Sandeep will pay a blind eye towards similar or worse portrayals in other Bollywood films.
The same pattern repeated with Animal, where even industry veterans like Javed Akhtar took shots at the film, while critics tore it apart. However, Sandeep responded not just with record-breaking collections but also through his razor-sharp interviews, which often expose the industry’s hypocrisy. He straightforwardly questioned Javed’s stand on his children’s movies to which there is pin-drop silence.
Now, Sandeep’s latest interview with critic and trade analyst Komal Nahta is already creating a stir on social media with just its promo. In the interview, Sandeep revealed that a major production house refused to cast an actor simply because he had worked in Kabir Singh.
Speculation is rife that the production house in question is Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and that the actor being sidelined is Soham Majumdar, who played Shahid Kapoor’s friend in Kabir Singh. This revelation has reignited debates about Bollywood’s double standards.
While many who slammed Animal are now praising Ranbir Kapoor’s performance, Sandeep’s latest revelations have Bollywood scrambling for responses. Discussions are already heating up, with the full interview yet to be released. Many are eager to see how further Sandeep will go in exposing Bollywood’s inner workings.
One thing is sure—whether through his films or his words, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is a force Bollywood can no longer ignore.
