Fans of Ranbir Kapoor's blockbuster Animal have been waiting for news about its sequel, Animal Park. Now, producer Pranay Reddy Vanga has shared a clear update on when the film will finally go into production.
In a recent Telugu interview, Pranay revealed that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga will take a six-month break after completing his current project, Spirit, before starting work on Animal Park. Spirit stars Prabhas and is currently the team's main focus.
Animal Park shooting timeline revealed by producer
According to News18, Pranay Reddy Vanga mentioned that he and Sandeep will take a 6-month break after Spirit. After this break, they will commence the shoot of Animal Park.
The update comes as a relief to fans who have been eagerly waiting for details about the sequel. Animal Park has been one of the most anticipated projects on Sandeep Reddy Vanga's slate since the massive success of Animal.
What Pranay Reddy Vanga said about the break
Speaking to a Telugu channel, Pranay explained the team's current priorities. The focus right now is on completing Spirit before moving on to their next project.
"Immediately after Spirit, we will take a 6-month break. Then we will..." — Bollywood Hungama
Pranay also confirmed that he and Sandeep plan to take this break together before starting work on the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, as reported by Instagram.
What this means for Animal Park fans
The confirmation gives fans a clearer picture of the timeline. While no exact release date has been announced, the sequence is now clear:
- Spirit (with Prabhas) is the immediate priority
- A 6-month break will follow its completion
- Animal Park shooting will begin after the break
- Ranbir Kapoor will return for the sequel
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is currently focused on Spirit, will start Animal Park after the six-month break post-Spirit, as noted by Fun Asia Radio.
Our Take: Patience will pay off for Animal Park
To put it plainly, this update is good news for fans. The fact that Pranay and Sandeep are taking a deliberate break after Spirit shows they want to give Animal Park their full attention. Rushing a sequel to a film as big as Animal would be a mistake.
The six-month gap makes sense. It gives the team time to recharge, plan properly, and ensure the sequel matches — or even exceeds — the impact of the original. In our view, this is a sign of a filmmaker who cares about quality over speed.
For now, fans should keep their eyes on Spirit. Once that film is complete, the countdown to Animal Park officially begins.
