Animal makers risking with the Telugu version. The Telugu adaptation of the much-anticipated Hindi film 'Animal,' featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, has secured a significant deal worth Rs 15 crores in the two Telugu states. However, insiders express concerns about the feasibility of recovering such a substantial investment. According to sources, the challenge lies in the fact that primarily audiences in Andhra Pradesh engage with the Telugu version, while those in Telangana are more inclined to watch the Hindi rendition. This preference results in fewer theaters for the Telugu version and potentially lower collections.

The source highlights the commendable Hindi language proficiency of viewers in the Nizam region, particularly in Hyderabad. Given the linguistic comfort, the source suggests that the Rs 15 crore deal might be on the higher side. To recoup the investment, significant collections need to be drawn from key cities like Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Nellore.

The highly anticipated action-adventure film is scheduled for a global release on December 1, marking it as the highest-priced dubbed Hindi film in recent times, as per the source. Familiarity with the lead actress Rashmika and director Sandeep Vanga in the two Telugu states is expected to be a driving factor in attracting audiences. Rashmika, hailed for her performances in 'Geeta Govindam' and 'Pushpa,' has become a sensation among Telugu viewers. Meanwhile, Sandeep Vanga gained overnight popularity with the blockbuster 'Arjun Reddy.' The inclusion of Ranbir Kapoor in a fiery role adds to the appeal, creating optimism among Telugu buyers.

The trend of Bollywood stars expanding their influence in Telugu states, evident in the success of films like 'Jawan' and 'Tiger 3,' further contributes to the positive outlook for 'Animal' in the Telugu market.
