It is not a hidden fact that two much-awaited films are clashing with each other on December 1, 2023. Yes, we are talking about the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal and Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur. Now, Vicky has opened up about this clash and has given a mature reply using the analogy of cricket.

The actor called himself and Ranbir players for the same team which is ‘Hindi cinema.’ The Uri: The Surgical Strike actor in a conversation with Express Adda said, “When two opening batsmen come to the crease, playing for the same team, you won’t say that the two batsmen are clashing with each other, they are playing for a single team, so we are playing for Hindi cinema.”Adding to this, Vicky said that while one player might score big, the other one might move at a slower pace. He said. “While one player might hit fours and sixes, the other player will be at the crease and take ones and twos and maintain the strike.”
