Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Ranvijay in the movie clearly depicts an intense obsession with his on-screen father, played by Anil Kapoor. Throughout the film, Ranbir goes to great lengths to prove his unyielding love for his father. An interesting revelation now emerges regarding the frequency of a particular word in the movie – 'papa.' Reports suggest that the word 'papa' is mentioned a staggering 196 times within the movie's 3-hour and 21-minute runtime.
A parallel trend occurred with the release of Ranbir and Alia's film 'Brahmastra,' where a similar curiosity arose regarding the repetition of the word 'Shiva' by Alia's character. Comparisons were drawn with Ranbir's character's penchant for saying 'papa.' Interestingly, reports indicate that Alia says 'Shiva' 103 times in 'Brahmastra,' falling short of her husband's record in 'Animal.'
When 'Brahmastra' hit the screens, Alia found herself at the centre of memes as her character was frequently heard uttering 'Shiva Shiva' throughout the movie. Addressing this criticism, Alia responded in an interview with India Today, saying, 'People can literally play a drinking game based on the number of times I have said Shiva in the film".
