Speaking to Deadline, the actor confirmed that the film is not in production yet. When asked if he has read the script, Ranbir shared that Vanga has only hinted at directing the sequel so far.
“He has 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 director is right now making another film. We should start that film in 2027. It’s a bit away,” the actor shared.

Kapoor further called the sequel an exciting and ambitious project, revealing he will be seen in a dual role in Animal Park.
“We have been sharing ideas from the first film itself about 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,” Ranbir added, praising the filmmaker`s originality.
For those wondering about the dual role, Ranbir Kapoor said the antagonist undergoes plastic surgery, transforming into a body double who eventually begins to resemble the protagonist in every little detail.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranbir Kapoor is currently busy shooting for Nitish Tiwari`s Ramayan, which also stars Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey.
He also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s Love and War with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.
