Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has generated a lot of hype and controversy at the box office. Following the success of this ultraviolent criminal story, the producers have officially announced its sequel, Animal Park, which was hinted at during the film's post-credits sequence.
T-Series' official account released two photographs of producer Bhushan Kumar and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Tuesday, confirming their collaboration in revealing forthcoming Animal sequels. "It's a partnership built on trust, fueled by creative freedom, and strengthened by an unbreakable bond," the caption reads. Producer Bhushan Kumar and Director #SandeepReddyVanga present the next cinematic marvels—Prabhas' Spirit, Animal Park, and an Allu Arjun saga—the chapters that follow Kabir Singh and #Animal."
Animal concluded with the presentation of expert butcher Aziz Haque, played in a dual capacity by Ranbir Kapoor. To protect his father, Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor), Ranbir's character, Ranvijay Singh, assassinated Aziz's brothers, Abrar Haque and Asrar Haque (played by Bobby Deol and Babloo Prithiveeraj). Now, Aziz wants vengeance on Ranvijay and his family, laying the groundwork for the sequel, which will focus on Ranbir's two violent personas, Ranvijay and Aziz.
The reaction to Animal has been divided. While some attacked the film for celebrating toxic masculinity, sexism, and excessive violence, others praised its raw and honest depiction, asking naysayers to reconsider.
