Shah Rukh Khan has recently enjoyed success with consecutive hits, "Pathaan" and "Jawan," while his latest film, "Dunki," although not performing as anticipated, did not disappoint commercially.
He has been riding high on cloud nine due to these achievements, openly expressing his feelings without any filter.
During a recent event, Shah Rukh Khan stated, "I am a person who is hopeful and tells happy stories. The characters I portray perform good deeds, offering hope and happiness. Even when playing a negative role, I ensure the character faces severe consequences, believing that goodness begets goodness. Badness, in my opinion, deserves a kick in the backside."
This statement has sparked controversy as it seems to be a subtle jab at Ranbir Kapoor's "Animal," directed by Sandeep Vanga.
Netizens are questioning whom he intends to kick in the backside. Is he expressing disdain for Ranbir and Sandeep Vanga due to the violent and acidic nature of their film, "Animal"?
Another netizen pointed out that Shah Rukh Khan might be struggling to accept the fact that Ranbir and Sandeep Vanga pose a potential threat with their new-age content, offering tough competition to Shah Rukh Khan's established position in Bollywood.
It should be noted that, Kangana Ranaut and Javed Akhtar have already directly criticized "Animal" for its explicit content, obscenity, and violence.
