The success of a film often hinges on both pre-release hype and strong promotional strategies. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, renowned for the hits “Arjun Reddy” and its Hindi adaptation “Kabir Singh,” employed aggressive promotion that significantly contributed to their success. However, for his upcoming project “Animal,” starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, the director seems to be taking a different approach.
While Vanga has released teasers, trailers, and song videos for “Animal,” there appears to be a contrast in the level of promotion compared to his previous endeavors. Notably, he joined Balayya’s Unstoppable with the leads and orchestrated a promotional event at Burj Khalifa, Dubai. Yet, the absence of anticipated city tours like Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Vizag, and Tirupathi, as previously rumored, is notable, given the film’s imminent release on December 1st.
Speculation arises about Vanga’s confidence in the film’s quality, considering his restrained promotional efforts. It’s possible that he believes the content speaks for itself, opting for what he deems as “needed” rather than “expanded” promotions. With just over 10 days until release, the strategy remains enigmatic. Whether this calculated approach will suffice to generate the buzz required for a grand opening is uncertain.
Vanga’s confidence in the film’s potential might suggest a deliberate choice to focus on targeted promotional activities. As the release date approaches, it remains to be seen how this strategy will impact the film’s reception and box office performance.
