Sandeep Reddy Vanga Controversies

Vanga whipped up controversies for glorifying aggressive male protagonists.

The first instance came with Arjun Reddy’s release in 2017.

Vijay Deverakonda's character went to crazy lengths for love.

“It’s completely okay to have a problem with a character like Arjun,” said Deverakonda.

Vanga even made a Bollywood remake of the film — Kabir Singh.

This time, Shahid Kapoor filled in the shoes of the titular character.

Shahid and Kiara’s non-sensual kiss was a topic of debate.

“I don’t think that Kabir Singh was a misogynistic film”: Vanga’s response to naysayers.

Toxic masculinity, misogyny and violence have often triggered debates.

“If you can’t slap, touch, kiss, cuss your woman, I don’t see emotion there,” Vanga justified.
