Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal is a copy of Akshay Kumar's Jaanwar? Suneel Darshan reveals
Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, released in 2023 and witnessed a superlative box office run in India. The movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, met with extreme reactions - with some appreciating it for fearless and raw writing, while others tagged it as toxic. It also faced backlash for its Interval block being similar to the Korean movie, Oldboy. And now, veteran Hindi film director Suneel Darshan has accused Vanga of copying his story of Jaanwar (1991). In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Suneel Darshan highlighted that the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal has a similar plot to his film Jaanwar, still he hasn't made any claims. When asked if he wants to remake his own film for today's audience, Suneel said, 'Main kaise banaun? Meri filmon ki nakal itne log kar chuke hain. Ek film hai Jaanwar. Jaanwar ka English kya hota hai? Uski kahaani kaunsi hai? Aapne Animal dekhi hai na? Aapko pata hai na kaunsi kahaani hai? Lekin main claim nahi karta, kyunki us director ki treatment bahut anokhi thi, aur bahut achhe tareeke se usne us film ko treat kiya. But if the producer had acknowledged the truth, it would have been much better.' Why Suneel Darshan chooses to stay silent Gearing for the release of Andaaz 2 on August 8, Suneel Darshan further added that he is happy that his cinema is inspiring other people even today. He said, 'I thought it was better to stay silent, because somehow, there have been other films like this too, and they've been massive hits. I feel like I'm inspiring people. My cinema is continuing to inspire them, and those films are becoming huge blockbusters.' 'There's one hero, a very big star, who also did a film that's very, very similar to mine. And the writer from whom they bought the story is also a very big name. That film too was a massive hit. So if you see the film, it's strangely very similar to my film,' Suneel Darshan concluded.

Hyun Bong-sik's inspiring journey from tech guy to korean screen sensation
Hyun Bong-sik from samsung tech guy to korean screen sensation Before life took a dramatic turn, Hyun Bong-sik spent his twenties navigating uncertainty—juggling a series of odd jobs like parcel delivery, rice supply runs, and repairing appliances as a Samsung installation technician, all without a clear sense of his dream career. During a mandatory customer service training, he was thrown into a role-play scenario simulating tough client interactions. "It was ridiculously fun!" he recalled on a lively Korean variety show. That lightbulb moment wasn't just a giggle; it ignited his passion for acting. Overcoming Odds Hyun Bong-sik's entry into acting was anything but conventional. At 30, with no formal training under his belt, he took the plunge after that role-play stuck with him like glue. His debut came in 2014 with the action-packed Pirates: Bandits Going to the Sea, but the real test was his first major role in the blockbuster International Market, which pulled in over 14 million viewers domestically. According to Korean box office tracker KOBIS, the film grossed around 110 billion KRW, making it a massive hit. Bong-sik shared the screen with legend Hwang Jung-min, prepping for six intense months by memorising every line. Yet, on set, nerves hit hard - lines changed, and he flubbed takes left and right. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo "I was so jittery, even random onlookers joked they could act better!" he laughed. Turning 'Flaws' into Superpowers on Screen What makes Bong-sik's story extra relatable? His so-called "mature" looks - often described as "old-fashioned" - became his edge in a youth-obsessed K-entertainment world. Early rejections stung, with folks bluntly saying his face wasn't "star material." But he spun it gold, landing roles as grizzled villains in thrillers like Asura, historical dramas like 1987, and intense series such as Hell is Other People and D.P. He's appeared in over 20 projects now, building a fanbase that loves his raw, unfiltered energy. Inspiration for Dreamers Everywhere Bong-sik's tale screams one thing - Chase that spark, no matter how random. From tech drills to dominating screens in edge-of-your-seat roles, he embodies the "never too late" mantra.
