Allu Arjun praises Animal
In an interview with Hollywood Reporter India, Allu Arjun was asked if there was a film that he watched recently that made him want to be a part of it. “No. There`s no film that I would say I`d like to have done. But there are films that I really liked. Performances… I loved Animal. Phenomenal performance. That`s one movie I really liked. There are some nice Telugu films that have come out,” he said.
The actor also spoke about what kind of films he likes to watch. “Everything — top to bottom, high to low. I have a wide spectrum. I can watch a niche film. I can watch a shallow film. I can watch a wide film. I can watch a small film. I can watch all genres. If it`s well-made, I`ll watch it. I`m not into horror or dark murder mysteries, but if they are really well-made, I`ll watch them. I enjoy all genres. Sci-fi, romantic drama, drama, comedy I like everything,” he added.
