Filmmaker Karan Johar completed five years in the film industry as a director in 2023. To mark the milestone, he released his seventh directorial titled `Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani` which was led by Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. The film which also starred Shabana Azmi, Dharmendra, and Jaya Bachchan was a hit at the box office and was equally loved by the critics. However, for Johar, the best film of the year is Sandeep Reddy Vanga`s `Animal`.
Karan Johar praised Vanga for his film `Animal that had Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. Johar showered praise on Vanga when they were both seated beside each other at the mega pan-Indian roundtable 2023 by Galatta Plus. "People have come up to me after I spoke about how much I loved Animal, and said, `You have made Rocky Aur Rani,` That`s the vaccination for a film like Animal. It`s the opposite extreme. I said that I cannot disagree with you more, because Animal to me is the best film of the year. It took me a while to reach to this statement and a lot of courage because when you are around people, you fear judgment. Like during the time of Kabir Singh, which I also loved... I was like I am going to say this and I am going to get dirty looks from certain people but I don`t care anymore," Karan said on the roundtable which also had Taapsee Pannu, Rani Mukerji, Rima Das, Jude Anthany Joseph and Prithvi Konanur.
