On Tuesday, production banner T-Series officially announced the sequel of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial Animal. The film, one of the most successful outings of 2023, was released on December 1 and raked in over Rs 800 crore at the domestic box office.

The film left many fans excited as it had a post-credits scene, teasing a sequel titled Animal Park, in which Ranbir would potentially have a double role. And now makers have officially confirmed the film’s sequel with an Instagram post on T-Series’ handle.

T Series announced that they are collaborating with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for three films - Animal Park, Prabhas-starrer Spirit and one film with Allu Arjun.

The post on X said, "It's a partnership built on trust, fueled by creative freedom, and fortified by an unbreakable bond. Producer Bhushan Kumar and Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga unveil the next cinematic wonders—Prabhas' Spirit, Animal Park, and an Allu Arjun saga—the chapters that follow the monumental success of Kabir Singh and Animal."

Apart from Ranbir Kapoor, Animal also features Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, Suresh Oberoi and Prem Chopra.

Despite its successful run in theatres, Animal has drawn criticism from a section of social media users for its misogynistic and graphically violent narrative.

It is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar for T-Series, Murad Khetani for Cine1 Studios and Pranay Reddy Vanga for Bhadrakali Pictures.
