As per reports, a reliable source close to the makers claim that the “Producers are working on various ideas to carry the Animal success forward. One of course is the sequel which will not happen before 2026. A more tenable and proximate possibility is the spinoff of the bobby deol character Abrar Haque which can accommodate a stand-alone movie, not necessarily directed by sandeep Vanga reddy who it seems, will be busy with the sequel to Animal(which may or may not be titled Animal Park).”
Meanwhile, sharing his views about the possibility of spinoff and the overwhelming response for Animal, bobby deol says, “My character Abrar comes in late in Animal, towards the end. But the impact is unbelievable. Fans want a spinoff of my character. When it happens, I will be glad. Right now, I can’t believe what I am going through! Animal is bigger than anything we imagined. It is still not sinking in.”
Earlier, director sandeep Reddy Vanga discussed bobby Deol’s character in Animal and shed light on why Abrar, despite belonging to the same family as Ranbir Kapoor’s character Ranvijay Singh, is portrayed as a Muslim while Ranvijay follows Sikhism. In an interview with Galatta Plus, Vanga highlighted his observation of people changing their religion after facing major life challenges. He mentioned that during low points in life, some individuals see it as a rebirth and transform their identity. Vanga shared that he chose islam for Abrar’s character, because he has seen people converting to islam and christianity compared to Hinduism. He explained that this decision was made to add depth to the storyline, allowing for more complex family dynamics.
