Shooting for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Animal Park, starring Ranbir Kapoor, is scheduled to begin about six months after the release of Vanga’s earlier film Spirit. Multiple outlets report that the schedule is linked to the timeline after Spirit’s completion and release.

NDTV cites Pranay Reddy Vanga as confirming that Sandeep Reddy Vanga will take a six-month break following Spirit before starting work on Animal Park. Times of India adds further production and release context, saying Animal Park is planned for a late-2027 release and that Vanga will step back for a while after Spirit. It also notes that Ranbir Kapoor is expected to be busy with other projects through 2027, with viewers and fans discussing whether the gap affects expectations for the sequel.

While both reports align on the six-month post-Spirit break and the start of Animal Park’s shooting, they differ in emphasis, with one focusing on the break itself and the other including the projected release window and the broader scheduling context for Kapoor.
