In a recent interview, Suri revealed his admiration for Vanga’s bold storytelling and lamented his silence during the film’s polarizing release. Suri shared,“I have never met him. After Animal was released, half the world was against him, I had genuinely messaged him. I wish I had posted it. I don’t know why I didn’t. Because maine uss time pe social media sab delete kar diya tha.”
Mohit Suri’s Message To Sandeep Reddy Vanga
While promoting his latest romantic drama Saiyaara, Mohit Suri shared that he was deeply impressed by Animal’s raw vision. “I loved it immensely. I texted Sandeep back then when many were hating on it,” Suri said, noting he messaged Vanga privately to commend his directorial flair.
Suri was deeply touched by Vanga’s sweet gesture, stating, “Personal praise is common in this industry, but public acknowledgment is rare. Sandeep did both, and that takes a secure and generous person.”
Vanga’s Generous Support for Saiyaara
Suri’s regret increased when Vanga personally shared Suri’s Saiyaara’s trailer publicly on his X handle. The Animal director tweeted about the film’s trailer, calling it “Mohit Suri’s magic” and expressing excitement to watch it on release day.
Witnessing a hindi heartland love story completely emphasizing on romance and drama.
Waiting to watch it on the first day.
Wishing the debutants all the very best :-)

Suri, touched by this gesture, noted, “Personal praise is common in this industry, but public acknowledgment is rare. Sandeep did both, and that takes a secure and generous person.” This mutual respect highlights a rare camaraderie in Bollywood, where public praise among peers is often overshadowed by competition.
Suri Defending Vanga’s Controversial Cinema
Suri also came in support of Vanga’s directing style, which has been under criticism for its dark themes. He called Vanga a ‘secure’ man and contended that people tend to misunderstand Vanga’s storytelling. In this interview with Filmygyan, he further praised the emotional depth in Vanga’s work. Suri’s outspoken support demonstrates his faith in artistic freedom and solidifies his respect for Vanga’s unafraid methodology.
