Adil Hussain vs. Sandeep Reddy Vanga: Round Two Ding Ding! 🎬🥊

Oh, the sweet symphony of Bollywood feuds! 🎻 Adil Hussain, celebrated actor known for gems like English Vinglish, Life of Pi, and the delightfully controversial Kabir Singh, has reignited his spat with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Remember that smoldering cold war? Well, it just got a new dose of drama! 🍿

In a recent chat with Zoom, Adil was asked if he’d ever consider a role in Vanga’s upcoming flick, Animal. Spoiler alert: his answer was a resounding NO. "Even if they paid me Rs 100-200 crore, I would never do it," quipped the 60-year-old. Ah, the sweet sound of burning bridges! 🔥

But Wait, There’s More! 🎥💥

Our dear Adil didn’t stop there. He took another swipe at Vanga’s comments about his career. For those living under a rock, Vanga had once dismissed Adil’s impressive filmography, reducing it to "30 art films and one blockbuster"—the ever-controversial Kabir Singh.

Adil, not one to let such comments slide, shot back with, "If he is more famous than Ang Lee, I don’t know what to say… Very unfortunate that he thinks like that." Ouch! Adding salt to the wound, he reminded everyone that Life of Pi grossed over a billion dollars. "I don’t think he can compete with that," he added with a smirk. 🌟

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Twitter Saga 🐦💻

Flashback to April, when Vanga had taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to respond to Adil’s previous jabs. He’d tweeted, in a fit of digital bravado, that he’d "save him from the shame by replacing his face with AI help." 😱

"Ur ‘belief’ in 30 art films didn’t get as much fame to u as ur ‘regret’ of 1 BLOCKBUSTER film did," Vanga had tweeted in what can only be described as a digital mic drop.

The Animal Kingdom 🦁🎬

In case you missed it, Animal stars Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, with Anil Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, and Bobby Deol adding to the star power. The film hit theaters on December 1, 2023. Will it create waves? Only time will tell!

Nisha’s Nutshell 🥜

In the world of Bollywood, where egos are bigger than box office collections and feuds are as common as item numbers, always expect the unexpected. And remember, in this glittery jungle, one man’s art film is another man’s blockbuster regret!
