Sandeep Reddy Vanga has officially confirmed that Animal Park, the much-anticipated sequel to his blockbuster Animal, will begin production in mid-2027. The filmmaker revealed that the story will center on an all-out war between two identical brothers, promising a narrative that is even more intense and aggressive than the first installment.

The director shared that the sequel will only go on floors after he completes his current project, but he is already shaping the vision for this larger-than-life continuation. With Animal Park, Vanga aims to push boundaries further, exploring themes of family, rivalry, and raw human instinct. His statement that “Aziz is as much an Animal as Ranvijay” hints at a clash that will be both personal and devastating, setting the stage for a gripping cinematic showdown.

Ranbir Kapoor, who delivered a career-defining performance as Ranvijay Singh in Animal, expressed his excitement about returning to the franchise. This time, he will not only reprise his role as Ranvijay but also step into the shoes of the antagonist, Aziz Haque. The dual role presents a rare opportunity for Kapoor to explore two contrasting yet interconnected characters, a challenge he described as deeply inspiring.

Kapoor revealed that he has already begun discussions with Vanga about how to bring both Ranvijay and Aziz to life in a way that feels authentic and powerful. For the actor, the chance to portray two sides of the same coin—hero and villain, brother and adversary—is a creative journey he is eager to embark on. With Vanga’s vision and Kapoor’s dedication, Animal Park promises to be not just a sequel, but a cinematic event that will redefine the scale of storytelling in Indian cinema.
