During an interview with Deadline Hollywood, Ranbir Kapoor was asked if Animal 2 was in production, to which he said, "The director is right now making another film. We should start that film in 2027. It's a bit away." When asked if he had seen the script, the actor replied, "He (Reddy Vanga) just kind of flirted with what he really wants to do with the movie. He wants to make it in three parts. The second part is called Animal Park."

He went on to add, "We have been sharing ideas from the first film itself. How he wants to take the story forward. It's very exciting because now I get to play two characters, the antagonist and the protagonist. So extremely exciting project and an extremely original director, and I'm very excited to be a part of it."

Ranbir Kapoor was further asked to explain his dual roles in the film for those who haven't seen Animal. He shared how the antagonist undergoes plastic surgery and turns himself into a body double to eventually come to resemble the protagonist.
