Meanwhile, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal has minted over Rs 100 crore in just two days, starting with Rs 63.8 crore on the opening day. The film has amassed an impressive Rs 66 crore on the second day. Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles.

Vicky’s portrayal as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw has garnered much praise from the audience and critics. Vicky had opened up about the big clash with Ranbir’s Animal during Express Adda. The actor 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. While one player might hit fours and sixes, the other player will be at the crease, taking ones and twos and maintaining the strike.”
