MUMBAI :Vicky Kaushal who is currently basking in the success of his last release, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur. The film is a cinematic adaptation of Field Marshall Sam Maneckshaw's life.

Now, the venture will be locking horns at the box office with Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, Animal as the makers of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial have also shifted their release date to December 1.

Animal was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on August 11, but the makers decided to postpone the film. They claimed that the decision has been taken as the VFX work for the movie will take more time than expected.

However, it is believed that the makers also sought to avoid a clash with Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 and Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 at the box office. Now, as Animal will be clashing with Sam Bahadur, it was assumed that the release date of the Vicky Kaushal-starrer might be pushed.

Clearing the air, producer Ronnie Screwvala has confirmed that they do not plan to change Sam Bahadur’s release date. He was quoted as saying during an interview that the release date of the movie was revealed a year in advance and now the movie will release on that day, come what may.
