Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga Reveals The Reason For Postponement of Ranbir Kapoor-Fronted 'Animal'

Mumbai, July 3 - Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's highly-anticipated Pan India movie "Animal" starring Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has officially been postponed to December 1, 2023. The film was supposed to release on August 11 during the Independence Day weekend. ## There have been rumors floating on social media that "Animal" is postponed as the makers wanted to avert the clash with "Gadar 2" and "OMG 2". However, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has himself shared a video statement stating the real reason behind the postponement. ## In a video shared on T-Series' social media accounts, the director said that the only reason for the film not coming on August 11 is the quality of the product. He said that they don't want to compromise on the quality of the film and he gave example of the songs for the same. ## The director revealed that "Animal" has 7 songs in the original Hindi version and because the movie is also releasing in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages, there become a total of 35 songs. Due to the different kinds of lyrics and singers, things are taking a little more time than he had thought. He also said that they don't want to give the audience a feeling that the film and the songs are dubbed as they want to keep them as authentic as possible. ## The "Kabir Singh" director further said thanks to the audience for the excellent response to the pre-teaser and clarified that Ranbir Kapoor's glimpse shown in the pre-teaser as well as the song will be there in the movie as well contrary to the rumors. The filmmaker promises that it is a huge film and they are coming with the best quality in terms of everything.## The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series in association with Murad Khetani's Cine1 Studios and Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures. The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead alongside Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in prominent roles. ## Get ready to unleash the beast.#Animal is Ready to Rise & Roar in cinemas on 1st December this year.#1stDecemberANIMALrelease@AnilKapoor #RanbirKapoor @iamRashmika @thedeol @tripti_dimri23 @imvangasandeep #BhushanKumar @VangaPranay @MuradKhetani #KrishanKumar @anilandbhanu… pic.twitter.com/VOO2P9Oj2t— T-Series (@TSeries) July 3, 2023 ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' and 'Carry On Jatta 3' First Sunday/4th Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 2 - Sajid Nadiadwala's musical romantic film "Satyaprem Ki Katha", starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, scores a good 4-day opening weekend at the domestic box office after recording back-to-back double-digit scores. ## On its first Sunday/4th day, SPK is seeing a jump of around 15%-20% for an estimated 11.50-12 crores net collection. The movie has a shot at hitting 12 crores net which remains to see. The first Sunday estimate collection takes the total to over 38 crores net which is a good result. ## SPK, being a multiplex-friendly title, has performed in the expected lines in its extended opening weekend. The film's word of mouth is on the positive side which should help it to get going during the crucial weekdays. Just like all the mid-budget films, the first Monday hold is going to be crucial for SPK for its longevity. The good thing is, SPK has no real threat till Karan Johar's "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani" which arrives on July 28. ## Meanwhile, the Punjabi blockbuster "Carry On Jatta 3" continues to re-write history at the box office after scoring another massive day domestically. The third installment of the comedy franchise clocks the 4-day opening weekend of over 19 crores net after scoring an estimated 6 crores net on its first Sunday. ## The first Sunday/4th-day collection of COJ3 is more than double the first-day collection of the previous biggest Punjabi opener "Shadaa" (2.72 Cr) which is exceptional, to say the least. The worldwide collection of the movie is also nearing the 50 crores mark after the opening weekend, and it will soon become the highest-grossing Punjabi movie of all time. ## Stay tuned...
