Vicky Kaushal’s “Sam Bahadur,” based on the life of Sam Manekshaw, will lock horns with Ranbir Kapoor’s highly-anticipated “Animal” as both films are set to hit the big screen on December 1, 2023. Fans are already on the edge of their seats after seeing the trailers for both movies, making the upcoming weekend a special one for Bollywood enthusiasts.
“Sam Bahadur” is a biographical war drama centered on India’s first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw. Meanwhile, “Animal,” an action/crime film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, is one of the longest Indian films ever made, scheduled for release on December 1, 2023.
Given the ongoing buzz and the record-breaking bookings for “Animal,” it’s expected to overshadow “Sam Bahadur.” However, considering Vicky Kaushal’s charisma and acting skills, he might just turn the tables.
Vicky Kaushal’s Reaction on Animal and Sam Bahadur Clash
Vicky Kaushal in a recent interview said, “When two opening batsmen come to the crease, playing for the same team, you won’t say that the two batsmen are clashing with each other; they are playing for a single team, so we are playing for Hindi cinema.”
However, when he was asked about which movie is going to get the maximum number of boundaries, he smartly replied, “Let the audience decide it.”
Star Cast Battle: Sam Bahadur Vs Animal
Both “Animal” and “Sam Bahadur” boast some of Bollywood’s biggest names. The star-studded cast of “Animal” includes Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Anil Kapoor in lead roles. Conversely, “Sam Bahadur” features Vicky Kaushal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, and Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub. These talented actors have already proven their worth in numerous films. In terms of the star cast, “Animal” might have the upper hand, especially with the addition of the Bobby Deol.
Final Words:
Directed by Meghna Gulzar, “Sam Bahadur” will portray India’s first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw, focusing on the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. “Animal,” directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, explores a film centered on a toxic father-son relationship. Given the hype surrounding both movies, it’s impossible to give a verdict.
