Ranbir Kapoor Explains 'Scary' Animal Role

Ranbir Kapoor has shared insights into his portrayal of Ranvijay in the film 'Animal,' a role he found particularly challenging and distinct from his typical romantic leads. He credited director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for envisioning him in such a 'scary' and volatile character, noting that Vanga's confidence was instrumental in his performance. Kapoor described Ranvijay as a deeply emotional and protective figure, a trait he believes resonates universally.

The conversation also touched upon the upcoming sequel, 'Animal Park.' Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga revealed that shooting for the second installment is expected to commence in mid-2027. Vanga hinted that 'Animal Park' will expand the narrative, focusing on a conflict described as a 'war between two brothers who look alike.'

Kapoor expressed his enthusiasm for reprising his role and exploring the continued story. He mentioned that Vanga had the sequel's plot clearly outlined even during the filming of the first part. Kapoor finds the collaborative process with Vanga stimulating, eagerly anticipating returning to play both Ranvijay and another character in the sequel.
