What Sandeep Reddy Vanga said about Animal Park
Vanga assured that Animal Park will start soon once he completes his current film. "There will more animals as Aziz is another animal. Keeping that in mind it will be a war between the two brothers now, who look alike. So I thought Animal Park will be right title," he said, adding that the film will go on floors mid 2027.
The Kabir Singh director is currently busy shooting Spirit, with Prabhas in the lead.
Animal, also starring Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor hit the screens on December 1, 2023. It emerged as a massive blockbuster at the box office, both in India and worldwide. It became a huge box office success, grossing over Rs 900 crore worldwide.
Despite being a blockbuster, the film was criticised for excessive violence, glorifying male chauvinism, violence in relationships and misogyny.
Ranbir played Ranvijay Singh, and Anil Kapoor played his father. The story revolved around a troubled father-son relationship and how the childhood trauma affected Ranvijay's life.
