New Delhi: Since its worldwide premiere on December 1, Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, has taken a toll at the box office. It has been six days since the film’s theatrical premiere, but the unstoppable success of Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur has not stopped it from breaking several box office records.
With barely over a week under its belt, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga–directed film has now surpassed Rs 500 crore in international box office receipts, marking yet another impressive milestone.
