Mumbai, Entertainment Bureau: Bollywood is gearing up for another big box office clash as three highly anticipated films are set to release on August 11th this year.

On the other hand, “Gadar 2” is a sequel to the blockbuster film “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” which released in 2001. The original film, directed by Anil Sharma, was set during the Partition of India and starred Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel in the lead roles. “Gadar” created box office history upon its release and holds a special place in the hearts of Bollywood fans. The sequel aims to continue the story of Tara Singh (played by Sunny Deol), a Sikh truck driver, and his love interest Sakina (played by Amisha Patel), a Muslim girl from Lahore, Pakistan.
Lastly, “Animal” is an action thriller directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his work on the highly successful film “Kabir Singh.” The movie features Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, along with Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol. There were earlier reports of a potential delay in the release of “Animal,” but trade analyst Taran Adarsh clarified that the film is on schedule and will indeed release on August 11th, 2023.
