However, the wait for the second part is going to be longer than expected, going by Ranbir Kapoor's words. ## The actor is currently in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to attend the Red Sea International Film Festival and during his conversation with Deadline, Ranbir confirmed that Animal Park should start filming in 2027, which is about more than 2 years from now on. ## Ranbir also hinted at the third part of Animal as he said that director Vanga wants to make the film in three parts and the duo have been sharing ideas on how to take the story forward which can turn it into a 3-part franchise. The actor also expressed his excitement about playing both protagonist and antagonist in Animal Park. ## Meanwhile, Ranbir is currently shooting for director Nitesh Tiwari's epic Ramayana in which he is playing the character of Lord Rama.

Chennai, December 7 - Tamil star Suriya's fantasy action drama film Kanguva failed to live up to expectations and turned out to be a big disaster at the box office. Far from the humongous claims, this Siva's directorial ended up under 110 crores gross worldwide as a massive disappointment. ## With not getting much at the box office, the makers have now announced the streaming release date of the film in South Indian versions in the hope of a turnaround. The South Indian versions - Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on December 8. ## The theatrical window of the film is just 21 days which is the lowest for a Pan India movie and an indication of how badly the film performed at the box office. However, as has been seen in past movies, the box office disasters have also failed to generate viewership on OTT as well. ## The movie is produced by Studio Green in association with UV Creations. Also starring Bobby Deol and Disha Patani, it will be interesting to see how much the film makes an impact on the digital release after not having much to say with the box office numbers. ## A tale as old as time ⚔️ & a LEGACY that lives on 🦅KANGUVA arrives to settle it all 🔥#KanguvaOnPrime, Dec 8 pic.twitter.com/eDLqMDd2hD— prime video IN (@PrimeVideoIN) December 6, 2024 ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, December 7 - After another big second day, Pushpa 2 - The Rule is going berserk on Saturday at the Hindi box office and will be looking to come close to the opening day collection of around 70 crores net which is insane. ## Starring superstar Allu Arjun, Pushpa 2 has minted approximately 127 crores net collection in Hindi in the first 2 days and with big Saturday and Sunday loading, the movie will be eyeing to top superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan's opening weekend and it should get there easily. ## Jawan had scored approximately 252 crores net in its first 4-day opening weekend and Pushpa 2 will be looking to score 255 crores net collection at minimum to claim the biggest first weekend total ever in Hindi. This is also the first time when a South Indian movie will have a 200+ crores net weekend in Hindi. ## Pushpa 2 is unlikely to stop after potentially the record-breaking opening weekend. With positive word of mouth among the audience and no new release for the next two weeks, the movie's strong run at the box office is expected to continue and might be eyeing the ultimate prize in the long run. ## Stay tuned...
