New Delhi. It has been 18 days since the release of Ranbir Kapoor starrer film Animal and the film is still dominating the box office. Everyone has liked Ranbir’s character in the film because it is quite different from the characters in his other films. Till now, he has played chocolate-romantic characters in most of the films but the character of Rannvijay Singh in Animal has proved to be a milestone for him. Many kinds of things are being said about this character, some are calling the character toxic and some are calling it anti-women, but do you know that the actor’s character is quite similar to Adolf Hitler…how is that…that? We will tell you this. Will tell in the article.
Saw something interesting while watching animals.
When Ranbir is giving a rousing speech to the factory workers, with a Swastik at his back. He assures everyone that he will just take 3 months to bring his father back. And while doing so he holds his fingers up. His thumb index… pic.twitter.com/EzmYGHW0lV

That number of 3 was quite random. Could have been 2,4 or 6 months. But most likely to show 3 with his fingers, the number was chosen.
Vanga is a Tarantino fan, must have seen Inglorious bastards, and that 3 finger scene is one of the most iconic, so it isn’t just mere…

Actually, a tweet on social media has caught everyone’s attention, which reveals that Ranbir Kapoor’s character Ranvijay Singh is actually very similar to Hitler. If you have seen the film, in one scene of the film Ranbir presents his views to the factory workers to bring back his father i.e. Anil Kapoor and says that he will bring his father back in three days. During this, he makes a three gesture with his fingers but that gesture indicates the German’s connection with Hitler. Generally, when three fingers are indicated, all three fingers are indicated, but in Germany, when three fingers are indicated, two fingers and the thumb are used.
It has been mentioned in the tweet that this is the German style… and similar finger pointing was done in the Hollywood film Inglourious Basterds, which is based on Hitler. Even in the comment section, users are justifying this. It is also worth noting that Animal’s director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is also a big fan of Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino and admires him, and now seeing such things in the film is proof that the film is indeed inspired by Hitler’s character. Are. Hitler’s childhood was also very bad because he did not get love from his parents. Even Ranbir’s character in the film does not have his father’s love. Meaning the circumstances of both are almost the same.
Perhaps Sandeep Vanga Reddy was including a few Easter Eggs in the movie. A tribute to his influences – Tarantino in this particular instance. That and it also keeps the movie in the limelight for more time.

Not just Nazi. West folks having European origins count with thumb as “1” unlike Indians. So “2” symbol would also appear strange to the Indians.
My French friends also count like that.

What is the meaning of this gesture?
One more thing worth noting is that the gesture of these three fingers was used in Hitler’s ideology of Nazism, when someone had to be forced to agree to something, that is, it directly meant dictatorship. Dominating someone can also be understood as a sign of this gesture. Overall, this gesture made in the film is inspired by Nazism.
Oh wow, that’s pretty subtle and clever! Animal is clearly a film with a lot of nuance and attention to detail, and this little easter egg is just one example. It’s amazing how filmmakers can sneak in these tiny nods and references to history and other films, and only the most…

What do users say
One user says that perhaps Sandeep Vanga Reddy has kept Quentin Tarantino’s scenes in the film to keep the film in the headlines for longer. Another user wrote – I don’t know whether this was actually inspired by the Nazis or it is just a coincidence. Another wrote- I thought this whole scene was a tribute to one of Hitler’s speeches. The factory setup reminded of German factories during World War II, the company logo, the salute, the ‘3’ gesture, the employees shouting ‘Ho Ho’, everything is just like what Hitler told the German youth to do for their country. Was inspired to fight.
And also hand gestures matched with “Seig Heil” salute, only palm was closed. pic.twitter.com/Jgqo6ioHou

I thought the whole scene was a homage to one of Hitler’s speeches. The factory setup reminded of German factories during WW2, the company logo, the salute, ‘3’ gesture workers shouting ‘Ho Ho’ everything is similar to how Hitler motivated German youth to fight for their country.
