Reports were earlier rife that Vicky and Rashmika are all set to collaborate on a project. Their fun banter on social media has now proved the same.

Speaking to The Indian Express, Vicky used a sports analogy to express his opinion about the clash. He mentioned that when two opening batsmen come to the crease, playing for the same team, one wouldn’t say that the two batsmen are clashing with each other. Instead, they are playing for a single team, emphasizing that they are playing for Hindi cinema.

Vicky added that in this scenario, while one batsman scores big hits, the other focusing on strategic singles while maintaining the strike is equally crucial. When questioned about which film will achieve the big hit, Vicky responded by saying, “The audience will decide.”
‘Sam Bahadur’ also stars Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh in lead roles. The film is directed by Meghna Gulzar. Meanwhile, Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Ranbir Kapoor, and Bobby Deol.
