Mohit Suri's Reaction To Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Films
Earlier, Mohit Suri, who is known for his films in the romance genre, had reacted to the criticism that Sandeep Reddy Vanga's films face.
Mohit Suri told Filmygyan, "I love his films. Hum banate hai use controversial (We make his films controversial). Ye same kahaani aap kisi gangster ke sath karo - Bhatt sahab ne kiya hai Sadak mein. (You make Sandeep kind of films with a gangster, Mahesh Bhatt has made Sadak like that). We are from that school of cinema. Ram Gopal Varma has made such films too. Everyone has the right to make their films. You have a right to like it or not like it."
Defending creative freedom in Vanga's films, Mohit Suri added, "Very few people think Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh have no difference. I feel there is a big difference between the two films. There is more emotion in the second part. I loved Animal. I messaged him during Animal that I am a Sandeep Reddy Vanga fan."
In A Nutshell
Mohit Suri, who is currently basking in the humongous success of Saiyaara, took to social media to express his gratitude towards Sandeep Reddy Vanga for his support. He thanked him and also reiterated that he will always be a Sandeep Reddy Vanga fan.
