Yesterday, sandeep Reddy Vanga released the first trailer for his forthcoming gangster movie, Animal. Both the crowd and the critics have responded well in the majority of cases. The pre-teaser for Animal, however, has also been accused of stealing a sequence from the 2003 Korean cult movie Old Boy, as is the case with practically all films. On social media, several users claim that Vanga shamelessly plagiarised the bloodiest corridor battle scene from Old Boy, in which the protagonist slashes down a hallway of evil guys while equipped only with a claw hammer.

According to several tamil and kannada moviegoers, sandeep Reddy Vanga combined Squid Games, Old Boy, The Man From Nowhere, and every other Korean action film into one dish called "Animal." Yes, the moment in Animal's pre-teaser resembles the Old Boy scene, but Vanga is too talented to blatantly plagiarise a sequence from a widely watched movie. He might have drawn inspiration from it, as many great directors do when they see a superbly planned action scene.

It is too soon to make such irrational remarks. Before making any judgements, we must first see the entire movie. It would be wiser to wait and place our faith on sandeep Reddy Vanga until then.
