Vicky on clash between Animal and Sam Bahadur

Bollywood is going to witness a box office clash between Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. Their films Animal and Sam Bahadur will release in theatres on December 1. Ranbir and Vicky have been promoting their respective films actively across the country.

Asked about the impending Animal and Sam Bahadur clash at the box office during an interview with The Indian Express, Vicky Kaushal 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."

He added, "While one player might hit fours and sixes, the other player will be at the crease and take ones and twos and maintain the strike." Asked which film is going to hit fours and which film will take ones and twos, Vicky simply said: "The audience will decide." Directed by Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal is based on an abusive father-son relationship.
