The father claimed he only became aware of the extent of their obsession two to three months ago, revealing that the girls had even adopted new names.
After the massive global success of Animal, the excitement for its sequel, Animal Park, has reached a fever pitch. Fans have been eager to know when Ranbir Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga will reunite to continue the dark, gritty saga of the Singh family. Recently, both the actor and director shared important updates about the timeline and the plot of the upcoming film after a screening of Animal at Japan.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the visionary behind the franchise, revealed that the sequel will take the intensity to a whole new level. He confirmed that the film will focus on the clash between Ranvijay and his lookalike antagonist, Aziz. Vanga stated, “Animal Park will start soon once I finish the current film. There will be more animals in the film because Aziz is another animal. So, keeping that in mind it’s a war between the two brothers now to look alike so I thought Animal Park would be the right title.” Providing a concrete timeline for the filming, Vanga added, “We’ll start in the mid-2027 to shoot.”
Ranbir Kapoor, who received immense praise for his performance in the first part, expressed his enthusiasm for returning to this world. He mentioned that Vanga had the roadmap for the sequel ready long ago. Ranbir shared, “I can’t wait to get back on set with Sandeep and to play this character and now another character. Because it’s a continuing story, he had the story of part two very clear in his mind while filming part one itself.” Ranbir further explained his close working relationship with the director, saying, “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.”
The team also discussed the film’s potential impact in Japan. Ranbir reflected on his family legacy and his personal connection to the country. He recalled his grandfather Raj Kapoor’s global influence, saying, “Raj Kapoor was a filmmaker and actor himself, and one of his most popular songs around the world is ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’ which means, ‘my shoes are made in Japan, but my heart is Indian.”
Ranbir also reminisced about filming Tamasha in Tokyo in 2015, calling it one of the nicest experiences of his life. He expressed a desire to bring his three-year-old daughter Raha to Japan to experience its culture. About the sequel’s release, Ranbir concluded, “Animal is a film that is made from the heart and I feel that it will deeply resonate and connect with an audience in Japan itself. And I hope that people like it, so when we make part two, we can ourselves get the opportunity to come to Japan.”
