Chhaava

The recent box office hit of Vicky Kaushal’s “Chhaava” has initiated a fan war, particularly between Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor’s fans. The film has made a record-breaking ₹165 crore in just five days, and comparisons are drawn with Kapoor’s blockbuster “Animal,” which grossed a record-breaking ₹905 crore worldwide.

But these comparisons are yet to be decided, given the monumental difference in the two productions’ magnitude. However, fuel to the fire is added with a viral behind-the-scenes clip of Vicky Kaushal riding a dummy horse during the shoot for “Chhaava.”

The clip has become the target of general ridicule, particularly from Kapoor’s fanbase, which has flooded social media with derision aimed at Kaushal. Critics feel that this contradicts his own claims of undergoing six months of intense training in horse riding and sword fighting for the role.

The rivalry has been further intensified by the anticipation surrounding Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film “Love and War,” which brings Vicky Kaushal, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt together on screen.

Speculation is rife regarding how their on-screen dynamics will unfold, with some fans suggesting that Kaushal’s recent success could overshadow Kapoor in their collaboration. However, these assumptions remain purely speculative.

In essence, the dazzling achievement of “Chhaava” has set fire to a fervent debate amongst Bollywood fandoms, Kaushal’s success being seen as a potential menace to Kapoor’s dominance by some.
