In addition, reports suggest that Ranbir could be involved in the shooting schedule of ‘Brahmastra 2: Dev’ around the middle of 2027.With multiple large-scale projects lined up, coordinating Ranbir’s dates for ‘Animal Park’ could be another important factor in determining the sequel’s production timeline.
Fans react to the delay
The latest update has prompted mixed reactions from fans online. While some expressed concern about the wait, others argued that the gap could benefit the sequel.

KGF’s sequel took 5 years to come, and we all know how successful that movie was.”Another fan referred to Sandeep’s upcoming collaboration with Prabhas and wrote, “So back-to-back Vanga movies for Tripti.”Some users also raised questions about Ranbir’s schedule, with one commenting, “But RK will be stuck with Brahmastra 2 shoot if it’s actually happening.”Amid all the discussion, one fan simply summed up the excitement by writing, “Can’t wait.”
‘Animal Park’ will continue the story
Ranbir had earlier revealed that Sandeep Reddy Vanga had already conceived the idea for ‘Animal Park’ while they were working on the first film. The sequel is expected to pick up from the events of ‘Animal’, rather than telling an unrelated story. The actor has also spoken about playing two characters in the follow-up, adding another layer of intrigue to the project.While the wait for ‘Animal Park’ could extend considerably, the makers appear to be taking their time before returning to the franchise. With Sandeep Reddy Vanga first focusing on ‘Spirit’, the sequel is likely to take shape only after the filmmaker completes his current commitment.
