While speaking with India Today, Ramesh Bala expressed optimism about the box office trajectory of ‘Animal,’ projecting a net collection of Rs 450-500 crore in India, including Telugu and Tamil versions. He anticipates the film reaching Rs 800-900 crore worldwide within two weeks, highlighting its strong performance in India, Canada, Australia, and the UK. Despite mixed reviews, he believes ‘Animal’ will emerge as the biggest blockbuster of the year, acknowledging its exceptional success.
Ramesh also opened up if ‘Animal’ will be able to break any record of Shah Rukh Khan’s recent films. He said “I would just wait till Monday to predict that. However, in terms of collections, ‘Pathaan’ was slightly lower than ‘Jawan’. So I’ll just see how the second weekend business goes in India and overseas. However, there is a possibility that ‘Animal’ can do more than any of SRK’s films. With certainty, we can only say after Sunday.”
Ramesh Bala suggests that ‘Animal’ is expected to have completed a significant portion of its business by December 20, given that ‘Dunki’ releases on the 21st and ‘Salaar’ on the 22nd of December. He indicates that post-December 20, ‘Animal’ may experience a slowdown, doing smaller business as the focus shifts to the new releases.
The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Tripti Dimri among others played pivotal role in the film.
