The highly anticipated sequel to the 2023 blockbuster "Animal," titled "Animal Park," is set to begin production in the middle of 2027, as confirmed by director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. This update came during a recent interaction, putting an end to various speculations regarding the timeline of the franchise’s next installment.
Interestingly, Ranbir Kapoor’s comments on discussing various creative ideas come amid reports that Vanga may be planning a third installment in the franchise.
According to journalist Subhash K Jha, a source close to the development revealed that the filmmaker's original vision expanded during the writing process.
"The original plan was to tell the story in two films.
But while writing the second part, he realized the narrative had far more depth and material than could be contained in just one more installment. That’s when the possibility of a third part entered the picture," the source was quoted as saying.
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has already stated that "Animal Park" will expand the narrative introduced in "Animal," featuring heightened conflict and multiple power centers.
The title itself suggests the broader scale of the sequel, which will depict a larger clash of characters and ideologies. Vanga had previously described the film as a battle between two equally fierce forces within the same universe.
Ranbir Kapoor, who played Ranvijay Singh in "Animal," has expressed excitement about returning to the franchise.
Speaking about the sequel, the actor said, "I can’t wait to get back on set with Sandeep and play this character—and now another character. Because it’s a continuing story, Sandeep had part two very clear in his mind even while filming part one."
He further added, "So, it's very inspiring for me as an actor.
Sandeep and I keep chatting with each other through the week or month and keep discussing different ideas. I really can’t wait to get back to playing Ranvijay and Aziz." His comments have further fueled curiosity about how the story might evolve beyond "Animal Park."
With "Animal" emerging as one of the most talked-about and commercially successful films of 2023, expectations for the sequel remain high.
While "Animal Park" is confirmed to begin production in mid-2027, reports of a potential third film suggest that the "Animal" franchise may be shaping up as a longer-running cinematic universe than initially planned.
