In a recent interview, the actor revealed that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is currently occupied with his next film, Spirit, which is delaying the sequel's production timeline. Ranbir Kapoor talks about Animal's sequel Speaking to Deadline , Ranbir clarified that Animal Park is not yet in production. When asked if he had read the script, Ranbir shared that Vanga has only hinted at the direction of the sequel so far. "He has kind of flirted with what he really wants to do with the movie. He wants to make it in three parts. The second part is called Animal Park. The director is right now making another film. We should start that film in 2027. It's a bit away," Ranbir said. Ranbir further described the sequel as an exciting and ambitious project, revealing that he will be seen in a dual role. "We have been sharing ideas from the first film itself about how he wants to take the story forward. It's very exciting because now I get to play two characters, the antagonist and the protagonist," he said, praising Vanga's originality.

Explaining the dual role for audiences who may not have seen Animal, Ranbir said the antagonist undergoes plastic surgery, transforming into a body double who eventually begins to resemble the protagonist. Released in 2023, Animal was a hyper-violent action drama that explored a twisted father-son relationship. Ranbir played Ranvijay Vijay Singh, a man shaped by childhood trauma inflicted by his emotionally distant father, portrayed by Anil Kapoor. The film was a huge box office success, grossing over ₹900 crore worldwide. Ranbir's upcoming projects Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor remains busy with an ambitious slate. He is currently working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, a 1960s-set period drama co-starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, slated for release in June 2026. He will also be seen later this year in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One, where he essays the role of Lord Ram.
