Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming flick, Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has sent the excitement soaring to new heights after the release of its trailer. The buzz is real—BookMyShow saw a staggering surge of 25,000 interests overnight.
Cities lucky enough to get early bookings have witnessed a cinematic rampage. In Hyderabad, tickets flew off the virtual shelves at a mind-blowing rate—over 5,000 in just six hours after the limited bookings opened. The box office experts are already sounding the alarm for a ‘box office carnage.’

Comparisons are being drawn with Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan, which had a stellar run in Telugu states. Animal, however, seems all set to outshine them. Even before the full-fledged bookings opened in India, the film made waves in the US and UK, particularly in its Telugu version—a rare feat for a Hindi film.
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s influence on the Telugu audience is evident. Animal being an original film and not a remake adds to its appeal. The advance trends in the US and UK are expected to set the tone for Nizam/Andhra, potentially surpassing Jawan’s impressive 5 crores net first-day total.

Animal is all set to open much bigger than Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 which was released during the festive season of Diwali. Ranbir Kapoor is all set to cross Salman Khan’s film despite releasing on a normal Friday and not on a national holiday like Tiger 3. After crossing Salman Khan, now Ranbir Kapoor is targetting the biggest of ’em all, Shah Rukh Khan.
To surpass Jawan, Animal needs more than just a spectacular opening—it requires strong word-of-mouth to carry it through at the box office.
