Triptii Dimri, who is known for films like Laila Majnu, Bulbbul, and Qala given her acting prowess, was mocked for taking up a mediocre role in Animal. When asked why she chose to do an ‘anti-feminist’ film, she told Filmfare, “I didn’t look at it as an anti-feminist film. I don’t give such tags to films. Even while doing Bulbbul and Qala, I never thought I was doing a feminist film. I connected with the characters, had faith in the directors, and felt I should do it. Even when Animal was offered to me, I met Sandeep sir and he explained. He didn’t tell me much about the story, he explained my character. To me, what was exciting was that I have only done goody and nice person roles – who get sympathy at the end – till now, and I was like this was a nice space to be in where I do this character."
