'Animal' emerges as Twitter's first choice ahead of 3-way clash
An interesting, high-stakes tussle is on the cards! Ranbir Kapoor's gangster drama Animal, Sunny Deol's patriotic film Gadar 2, and Akshay Kumar's religious social drama OMG 2 are slated to hit theaters during the Independence Day weekend. Notably, OMG 2 and Gadar 2 are sequels. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has asked Twitter users which film they will prefer—and Animal emerged as the primary choice.
People want to watch 'Animal' due to RK's look
While responding to this ongoing online discussion, several users pointed out that their anticipation and excitement arise from Kapoor's ferocious, blood-stained look in the film and due to director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's assurance that the movie will be extremely violent. A user wrote, "Animal is the biggest among the 3!" while another tweeted, "Superstar Ranbir Kapoor is coming this August!"
What's with the hype around 'Animal'?
Animal's hype emanates from the fact that if it works, it will be Kapoor's third consecutive success after Brahmastra and Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar. The film will also tap into his much-talked-about versatility, and it is also expected to feature some time jumps. Moreover, Vanga has tasted blockbuster success in the form of Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, so expectations from him are sky-high.
