Ranbir Kapoor is currently involved in several high-profile projects, including Ramayana and Love and War. He is also set to star in Animal Park, the sequel to the 2023 hit Animal. However, Ranbir Kapoor has
shared that Animal Park is still some time away from going into production. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is presently focused on his next film, Spirit.
In an interview with Deadline Hollywood, when asked if Animal Park is in production, Ranbir Kapoor said, “The director is right now making another film. We should start that film in 2027. It’s a bit away.” When asked if he had seen the script, Ranbir said, “He (Reddy Vanga) just 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 actor added, “We have been sharing ideas from the first film itself. 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. So extremely exciting project and an extremely original director, and I’m very excited to be a part of it.”
Ranbir Kapoor was asked to explain why he plays dual roles in the film for those who haven’t seen Animal. He explained that the antagonist undergoes plastic surgery, turns himself into a body double, and eventually comes to resemble the protagonist.
Animal—Plot And Cast
Animal (2023) is a hyperviolent action drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga that explores a father and son’s twisted, obsessive connection. Ranbir plays Ranvijay ‘Vijay Singh’, a man shaped by childhood trauma inflicted by his emotionally distant father, played by Anil Kapoor. After his father is assassinated, Vijay embarks on a ruthless quest for vengeance.
As of 2026, Ranbir Kapoor is in one of the most ambitious phases of his career. He is currently working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, a 1960s-set historical drama also starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, slated for release in June 2026. Later in the year, Ranbir will appear in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part One, where he takes on the role of Lord Ram.
