Adil Hussain Says OTT Roles Enable Him to Decline Films Like Animal
Actor Adil Hussain expressed regret over his role in the 2019 film Kabir Singh, describing it as misogynistic and violent. He revealed that financial stability from diverse acting projects, including Netflix shows like Operation Safed Sagar and Musafir Cafe, allows him to decline mainstream films that conflict with his moral values, such as Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 2023 film Animal. Hussain also mentioned using earnings from mainstream roles to support independent films and highlighted his upcoming projects releasing in July.
