“Bigger and Wilder” sequel is promised by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and Ranbir Kapoor is set to shoot Animal 2 in 2026

Following Animal’s enormous success, fans of Ranbir Kapoor are excitedly awaiting Animal Park, the film’s sequel. It seems that they will have to wait a little while longer to see the film, however. The director of Animal, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, recently gave an exciting update on the movie’s sequel at an award ceremony in Mumbai, but he also disclosed that production won’t start until 2026.

According to E-Times, Vanga said, “This is going to be bigger and wilder than Animal,” and that “the film’s shooting will start by 2026.”

It was previously revealed by Instant Bollywood that Vicky Kaushal will probably be involved in the follow-up to their hugely successful film Animal Park. Vicky Kaushal is allegedly being considered for an unfavorable part in Animal Park. Although there hasn’t been any formal confirmation as of yet, Vicky and Ranbir’s on-screen confrontation could be intriguing to see. Bobby Deol portrayed the antagonist in the film’s first segment.

Animal, which was released on December 1, 2023, followed a guy and his dysfunctional connection with his father. In the movie, Ranbir’s character Vijay was portrayed as an anti-hero who would stop at nothing to save his father, even if it meant using a machine gun to murder 200 people. But in spite of his best attempts, he was unable to win over his emotionally distant father (Anil Kapoor). Rashmika Mandanna and Triptii Dimri had significant parts in the movie as well.

Despite being a global film office hit that brought in over Rs 900 crore, many questioned Animal’s lack of sexism. Social media users were divided on the movie, with many criticizing the filmmaker for how he portrayed Vijay.

Rashmika Mandanna recently responded appropriately to people who labeled animals “misogynistic.” Animal, according to her, is “just about a character” who is “messed in the head.” Despite everything, she said, many still found the movie to be enjoyable, describing it as “raw, real, and correct.”

“It was very clear to me while I was filming the movie—he’s crazy in his brain and would do anything for his father. It’s his tale and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Animal is a film for those who desire things to be authentic, true, and raw. On Neha Dhupia’s program, Rashmika remarked, “After watching it, to say it’s misogynistic or whatever, just leave it if you enjoyed it.”
