Sandeep Reddy Vanga Confirms Prabhas, Triptii Dimri's Spirit Begins Filming This September
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga confirms Prabhas, Triptii Dimri's Spirit starts filming in September with back-to-back schedules.
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has officially confirmed that his much-anticipated film Spirit, starring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, will begin shooting in September 2025. The announcement came during a recent chat with Vijay Deverakonda and filmmaker Gowtam Tinnanuri on the Sithara Entertainments YouTube channel. Sandeep revealed that Spirit will have back-to-back schedules and a non-stop shooting plan once it hits the floors.
Spirit made headlines earlier this year when Deepika Padukone exited the project following disagreements over working hours and compensation. Reports suggested that Deepika was advocating for a strict eight-hour workday, a demand that could not be accommodated by the production team. Following her exit, Triptii Dimri was roped in to play the female lead opposite Prabhas.
According to reports by Rangasthalam, Sandeep has already completed the musical compositions for Spirit in collaboration with composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar.
Backed by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, Spirit is one of the most awaited action dramas in Indian cinema and is expected to hit theatres in 2027. The film reportedly presents Prabhas in a never-seen-before avatar, adding to fans' excitement.
Earlier, a source close to the project revealed, 'Sandeep Reddy Vanga wants to shoot for Spirit in a certain way and has requested Prabhas to acquire a lean physique. The idea is to ensure most stunts are performed by Prabhas himself. The Rebel Star is excited about the challenge and is working closely with Sandeep to mold himself into the character."
After wrapping up Spirit, Sandeep will begin scripting Animal Park, the much-anticipated sequel to his 2023 blockbuster Animal.
With high expectations riding on Spirit, fans are eagerly awaiting to see what cinematic magic Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas will bring to the screen.

AB de Villiers Calls Dewald Brevis Playing For CSK A ‘Shame', Wants Him In RCB For IPL 2026
In a candid conversation that has sparked chatter across the cricketing world, AB de Villiers—arguably one of the most beloved players in Indian Premier League (IPL) history—showered praise on South Africa's rising star Dewald Brevis, while expressing his disappointment that the 22-year-old isn't donning the red and gold of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). 'He is very attacking and still has a lot to learn. He is playing for CSK and not RCB—that is a shame,' remarked de Villiers during a recent podcast appearance with YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra. The statement, light-hearted yet sincere, has reignited the perennial rivalry between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and RCB, especially among their massive fan bases. AB's RCB-Brevis Dream: A Missed Match Made in Heaven? AB de Villiers, who was instrumental in shaping RCB's legacy over 11 stellar IPL seasons, clearly sees Brevis as a player molded in his own image. With the same jersey number (17) and a flair for 360-degree strokeplay, Brevis is often dubbed 'Baby AB' by fans and pundits alike. During the IPL 2025 auction, many expected RCB to snatch up the youngster. However, Brevis initially went unsold—until CSK swooped in, signing him for ₹2.2 crore as an injury replacement for Gurjapneet Singh. Brevis didn't disappoint. In just six matches, he racked up 225 runs at a blistering strike rate of 180, averaging 37.50, and smashing two half-centuries in a largely forgettable season for CSK. WCL 2025 Glory and a Nod to Jasprit Bumrah While the IPL discussions made waves, de Villiers also stole headlines elsewhere. Leading the South Africa Champions, he delivered a masterclass in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 final, smashing an unbeaten 120 off just 60 balls against Pakistan Champions to clinch the title. His innings included 12 fours and six towering sixes, proving he still possesses the magic touch. When asked about the toughest Indian bowler he ever faced, de Villiers named Jasprit Bumrah without hesitation. 'Obviously Bumrah. He's one of the greatest bowlers I've played against. He never troubled me too much, but we always had great battles. I have huge respect for him,' he shared. Their rivalry dates back to India's 2018 tour of South Africa and multiple IPL seasons, where de Villiers struck 125 runs off Bumrah at a strike rate of 147.1—but was also dismissed three times. Brevis' Rise in South African Colors Brevis, who made his international debut in August 2023, has already featured in two Tests and seven T20Is for South Africa. His recent form in the Zimbabwe T20I Tri-Nation Series was impressive—crossing the 30-run mark four times in six matches while maintaining a strike rate of 187.32. Now, he is gearing up for a high-stakes white-ball series against Australia, starting August 10 at Darwin's Marrara Oval. With three T20Is and three ODIs lined up, the tour offers Brevis a golden opportunity to further solidify his place in the South African setup ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Can RCB Still Make a Play for Brevis? Though the 'shame' of him playing for CSK lingers, de Villiers left a door open, hinting that Brevis might still wear the RCB colors in the future. With the young star's value rising exponentially and RCB constantly in search of long-term power-hitters, a future alliance can't be ruled out. As IPL franchises start strategizing for the 2026 edition, Brevis is undoubtedly one of the hottest commodities. Whether he stays yellow or turns red will be one of the most closely watched developments in the coming months.

You may have often heard about actors or actresses in the film industry being replaced overnight by other stars. This isn't something new; it has been happening for decades. Sometimes, it's due to scheduling conflicts or other reasons. Something similar happened almost 30 years ago, when Juhi Chawla was the first choice of the filmmakers for a particular film. She was even signed for the role, but due to unforeseen reasons, she backed out. The role eventually went to Karisma Kapoor, and the film featured Govinda as the male lead. We are talking about a 1995 comedy masala, directed by David Dhawan. It was one of the first successful movies of Karisma Kapoor. Over the years, the movie has become a cult classic and is now considered one of the greatest Hindi films ever made. The name of the film is ' Coolie No. 1 ' and the fact is also true that Dhawan first reached out to Juhi for the lead actress role. But it had to go to Karisma. In the 1990s, Govinda and Karisma Kapoor were one of the most popular on-screen pairs, delivering several superhit romantic comedies. One such iconic film was Coolie No. 1. Let's find out why Juhi opted out of the project and how much the film went on to earn at the box office. Why did Karisma Kapoor replace Juhi Chawla in Coolie No. 1? According to IMDb, producer Vashu Bhagnani and director David Dhawan initially wanted to cast Juhi Chawla as the lead actress in Coolie No. 1. At the time, Juhi was busy shooting for Ram Jaane with Shah Rukh Khan and was also committed to several other projects. Due to her packed schedule, the role eventually went to Karisma Kapoor. In the film, Kapoor played her character brilliantly, and Govinda's comedy made it even more successful. You can watch the film Coolie No. 1 for free on YouTube. What was box office collection of Coolie No.1? Coolie No. 1 , which hit theatres on 30 June 1995, was a major hit. Govinda delivered a memorable performance and the film also featured a strong supporting cast, including Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Harish Kumar, Kanchan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, and Tiku Talsania. According to Sacnilk, the film was made on a budget of Rs 3.50 crore and went on to earn Rs 21.15 crore worldwide.
