Animal Park Update: Ranbir Kapoor Reveals Filming Timeline and Trilogy Plans
Ranbir Kapoor has officially confirmed that filming for Animal Park will begin in 2027. This update is the biggest news for fans of the 2023 hit movie Animal. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is busy right now with a different movie, Spirit.
Owing to this busy schedule, Ranbir will first finish his other big projects, Love & War and Ramayana: Part One. Fans will have to wait a little longer, but the actor promises the wait will be worth it.
Ranbir’s Dual Role and The Haque Legacy
The story of the "Animal" world is getting much bigger. Sandeep Reddy Vanga plans to make this a three-part series. This means there will be even more movies after this one. Ranbir Kapoor is very excited to start working on the sequel. In this new movie, Ranbir will play two different characters: the hero, Vijay, and the villain, Aziz.
Aziz is a scary character who had surgery to look exactly like Vijay. This will lead to a big fight between the two characters played by the same actor. The filming is starting in 2027, so the director can finish his work with actor Prabhas first. This gap allows the team to make the script as strong as possible. Ranbir says the story for the second part is even darker and more intense than the first one.
How will the Animal Park budget and cast affect the Indian film industry?
The second movie will be much more expensive than the first one. The first film cost about 200 crores to make. Experts think Animal Park will cost between 350 and 400 crores. This money will be used for better special effects and filming in different countries. As Ranbir Kapoor is playing two roles at once, the movie needs advanced technology to make it look real.
Many actors from the first movie, like Saloni Batra, will come back for the sequel. This will keep the story connected for the fans. By the time Animal Park releases in 2027, Ranbir’s stardom will have reached new heights owing to his upcoming projects like Ramayana. This long wait helps the movie industry as it keeps the fans on their toes and gives stores and streaming sites more time to sell "Animal" themed products and videos.
