The December 2023 released Animal has become one of the highest-grossing movies of 2023. People from all around the globe have taken an interest in the movie and appreciated Ranbir Kapoor’s character, ‘Ranvijay Singh’. The 2022 Pakistani movie, The Legends Of Maula Jatt, had several scenes similar to Animal, and even the characterisation of both their leads was quite similar. Talking about the same, Babar Ali added:

“Hum kisi bhi chiz se inspiration le lete hai, kabhi koi hero se lete hai kabhi koi villain se leta hai. Kabhi koi director kisi aur director se leta hai, koi writer kisi writer se le leta hai. Hua yeh ki usme kuch chezein ek jaise ho gayi. Mere kaan se bhi guzri aur meine dekhi bhi. Hota hai yaar, yeh duniya hai.”

Babar Ali discussed that one cannot paint these similarities as copying, but this was a director and writer’s inspiration from his work. He also added that their get-up was almost the same, and so were their introductory scenes. He feels like the Indian makers were inspired by his work, and it is very normal to have a few similarities here and there.
