A big battle between Animal and Sam Bahadur
Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal are top performers and have already proved their versatility. Yes, in terms of stardom and box office pull, Ranbir is in a different league. Still, one can’t underestimate Vicky as his content-driven Uri: The Surgical Strike rocked the Indian box office by amassing 244.06 crores. So, the battle between Animal and Sam Bahadur will be interesting to see.
Budgets of Animal and Sam Bahadur
Even though the official update is unavailable, the trade buzz states that Animal is riding on a budget of 200 crores (including marketing and other expenses). On the other hand, Sam Bahadur’s estimated cost is around 55 crores. For both films, budget recovery is easily possible, and there’s a potential to rake in huge profits.
Dunki VS Salaar is a clash to remember
Possibly the biggest box office clash in recent times, Dunki versus Salaar, has all eyes set on it. This big battle features Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, and their fans alone can make their films success stories. If both these biggies excel with their content, the sky will be the limit for them at the Indian box office.
Budgets of Dunki and Salaar
Dunki, with Gauri Khan (wife of Shah Rukh Khan) and Rajkumar Hirani as co-producers, is carrying a reported budget of 120 crores, as per Pinkvilla. It’s Shah Rukh’s one of the least expensive films in recent years. On the other hand, Prabhas’ Salaar is an expensive affair with a reported cost of around 250 crores.
So, overall a budget of 625 crores is riding on the month of December, and the potential of box office earnings is huge!
