Vicky Kaushal BREAKS SILENCE On Sam Bahadur Clash With Ranbir Kapoor's Animal: 'That Friday Will...'

This December will witness multiple ‘Clash of the Titans’ at the domestic box office. Among those, Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal will be locking horns with Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur on December 1.

Speaking of it at the taser launch of the film, Vicky said it’s about him the industry normalised such clashes. “I think that Friday, we are eventually gonna hand over our films to the audience. It will be the audiences’ day more than our day. Like Ronnie pointed out, in today’s time, we, as an industry, should give the option of multiple films on the same day to the audience. That’s how we will flourish as an industry. We have those many weeks in a year, but as an industry, we cannot limit ourselves to making those many films in a year. We will have to make multiple films and we will have multiple releases on the same day. We have to build an atmosphere where multiple films can work on the same day. We have the strength in the audience, we have the strength at the exhibitor level, so, why not? I think we kind of also need to push the envelope now. Given today’s scenario, the excitement that the the audiences have, I think, if they resonate with two films and both the films are good, both can work. So, I am as excited for Animal as anybody else. As long as it is great for the audience. We work for them,” he said.

While Animal delves into the story of a troubled father and son amidst violent crime, leading the main character to become a psychopath, Sam Bahadur revolves around Sam Manekshaw, who served as the Chief of the Army Staff during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. The story chronicles his journey as the first Indian Army officer to achieve the rank of field marshal.
