actor: Adil Hussain repeated his criticism of the filmmaker Sandeep Reddy VangaHis films, saying that financial security gives him the freedom to turn down projects that don’t match his personal beliefs. Reaffirming his earlier regrets of being a part of: Kabir SinghAdil said no amount of money, including an offer as high as Rs 100 crore or Rs 200 crore, could convince him to act in a film like Animal.The actor portrayed the dean of a medical college in the 2019 hit starring: Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani. Looking back, he revealed that Kabir Singh remained the only project he accepted without reading the entire script.In an interview with Screen, Adil said that he feels privileged to constantly receive acting opportunities in different film industries, languages ​​and countries. That steady stream of work, he explains, allows him to turn down commercially rewarding projects if he’s uncomfortable with their themes or ideological messages.“I am one of the luckiest actors to be offered roles from different parts of the country and the world. And from the mainstream genre too,” he said. Adil is next set to feature in Netflix’s war drama Operation Safed Sagar, which he described as one of India’s most expensive productions on the streaming platform. He will also be seen in Musafir Cafe, starring and produced by Vikrant Massey.The actor said these mainstream ventures have paid him enough to continue to pursue smaller, independent films that offer greater artistic fulfillment despite generating less financial return. According to him, the income from big projects always helps him to “subsidize” his work in independent cinema. His upcoming releases begin with Padmakumar Narasimhamurthy’s slice-of-life indie Max, Min & Meowzaki, which is set to hit theaters on July 24. Musafir Cafe is also set to release on the same day, while Operation Safed Sagar, in which he essays the role of Air Marshal Vinod Patney, will premiere on Netflix on August 7.Adil acknowledges that “paying well” is a relative term and notes that he may still earn less than many mainstream stars. However, he says he has built a life that allows him to remain financially secure without feeling pressured to accept every acting offer.The actor had previously criticized Kabir Singh, describing him as misogynistic and accusing him of glorifying violence. He revealed that he stopped watching the movie after about 20 minutes and said that he would have been embarrassed if his wife had seen it. He also stated that he would reject Animal even if he was offered Rs 100 crore or Rs 200 crore. In response, Sandeep Reddy Vanga accused Adil of putting money above love and argued that Kabir Singh contributed more to the actor’s career than his independent films.Adil later made a comeback by promoting his collaborations with internationally acclaimed filmmakers, including Mira Nair and Ang Lee.
