Rasika Dugal: Even two years after its release, Animal, the Ranbir Kapoor-Sandeep Reddy Vanga film, continues to provoke lots of controversy online as well as on public platforms. During a recent visit to the Mumbai edition of We The Women, Mirzapur actor Rasika Dugal spoke about her conscientious choices while shooting films, and why she wouldn’t do a film like Animal.

Responding to a remark by Barkha Dutt where she would have accepted a role like Animal, Rasika answered, “No. I will not participate in propaganda films or celebrate misogyny. Those things are non-negotiable for me.”

Further elaborating on her reaction, Rasika emphasized that she had a problem with ‘the credibility given to the misogyny.’ She continued, “I would be very happy to play a character whose politics aren’t in sync with mine. For example, I am not Meena Tripathi (her character in Mirzapur) in real life.”

Adding to that, she also said, “I don’t go about killing people or molesting men. I will be immensely excited as a performer to understand a mind that I have not grasped yet, it is at the center of why I do what I do as an actor. But the politics of the project must be aligned with mine.” Rasika Dugal was recently seen in the third season of the popular OTT series Delhi Crime, where she played the part of Neeti.
