What's the story
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Bollywood singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya spoke about the alleged similarities between his character in Badass Ravi Kumar and Ranbir Kapoor's in Animal.
He admitted that both characters have a retro style, with long hair and beards.
But Reshammiya maintained that his film had some unique elements, noting, "Actually that chain-saw scene in the film isn't there in any other movie."
Character similarities
'If there is a similarity with a good thing...'
Further elaborating on the character similarities, Reshammiya said, "...of course, we maintained the retro look of the character for which his hair is also long."
"Animal is a current movie. But somewhere, the beard and hair have that conventional look that is trending these days."
He added, "Hence, there is a certain level of similarity. I also think that if there is a similarity with a good thing, then there is no problem in that."
