Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga Discuss Animal's Japan Premiere and Sequel Animal Park

Ahead of Animal's Japan premiere on February 13, Kapoor and Vanga discussed the upcoming sequel, Animal Park, set to begin production in mid-2027. The sequel will feature Kapoor in a double role as lookalike cousins engaged in a conflict, expanding the film's violent universe.
