Will Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit begin shoot in September? Here's what we know
Prabhas starrer Spirit to delay shoot yet again?
According to a report by Gulte, Prabhas starrer Spirit was initially expected to go on floors from September 2025. As Sandeep Reddy Vanga does not want the Rebel Star to be associated with other projects during the time of the shoot, he apparently wanted the actor to wrap up his other work first.
However, Prabhas' period drama, tentatively titled PrabhasHanu, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is unlikely to be wrapped up by September this year. Moreover, the Baahubali star also has pending works in The Raja Saab, reportedly 3 songs and an action sequence.
If Sandeep Reddy Vanga sticks to his original plan of uninterrupted shooting dates with any other projects, it is more likely that Spirit will not begin work from September. Although, as of now, this is a report and an official confirmation by the makers hasn't been made.
About Spirit
Spirit, starring Prabhas in the lead role, is an upcoming cop action drama, marking Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's subsequent venture after Ranbir Kapoor's Animal.
The film is rumored to feature the Saaho star as an angry young officer who is hellbent on ousting an underworld syndicate. Initially, the movie was expected to have Deepika Padukone as the female lead, but due to failure in negotiations, the makers opted to cast Bollywood diva Triptii Dimri, marking her first venture in South Indian cinema.
Prabhas' next
Prabhas is soon set to hit the big screens with his film, The Raja Saab. The horror comedy movie features the tale of a carefree young man who is planning to make a fortune by flipping an ancestral mansion. However, things go south when he encounters a spirit that resides within those doors.
The movie is slated to release on December 5, 2025, with actors like Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and many more in key roles.

Vivek Agnihotri says Sandeep Reddy Vanga is his alter ego: He is showing the truth
Director Vivek Agnihotri recently defended the storytelling approach in films such as 'Kabir Singh' (2019) and 'Animal' (2023). He called director Sandeep Reddy Vanga his alter ego and praised him for showing truth in his in an interview with Humans of Bombay, said, "Sandeep Reddy Vanga is more like my alter ego in the industry. Just like me he speaks fearlessly. People question Sandeep Reddy Vanga for toxic masculinity, but what is really happening in the society? Isn't it the truth? Does your society respect women? It is just his storytelling. He is showing the world to the people from his point of view."advertisementHe further said, "Many asked me 'Why did you not show the film from the other point of view?' How can I do that? Why will I show the film from a terrorist's point of view? And how will I even make an attempt at it when I don't even know how they see the world? Even Shekhar Kapur was questioned when he made 'Bandit Queen' from Phoolan Devi's perspective. But, over a period of time, people realised that Bandit Queen was right." "After Pahalgam attack, people realised 'The Kashmir Files' was right. I am not claiming that I believe in Vanga. I am just saying he has the right to tell stories from his point of view. People who are abusing him, are also using their right. But, at the end of the day, he is laughing looking at his bank," the 'The Bengal Files' director went concluded by highlighting that Vanga wouldn't be criticised if his films weren't doing well at the box office. "If his movies will fail, nobody will have an issue. They are having an issue, because it is working for him," Agnihotri director's next 'The Bengal Files' is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 5, 2025.- EndsMust Watch

Vivek Agnihotri Compares Himself To Sandeep Reddy Vanga: 'He Speaks Fearlessly, Like Me'
Last Updated: Vivek Agnihotri calls Sandeep Reddy Vanga his 'alter ego' and defends the Animal director's portrayal of toxic masculinity. Known for his candid and often polarising takes, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri recently struck a surprisingly appreciative tone while speaking about three major figures in Indian cinema—Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga. In a conversation with Humans of Bombay, the director of The Kashmir Files not only praised their contributions to the industry but also defended Sandeep's controversial brand of storytelling. Starting with Karan Johar, Agnihotri acknowledged the filmmaker's impact on redefining commercial cinema. 'I really want to praise Karan Johar because he changed the commerciability of commercial cinema. He took it to a different scale. And just like how I am the brand ambassador of my films, he is the ambassador of his films. He is the face of Dharma Productions," he said. Reflecting on Johar's multifaceted career, he added, 'Earlier, he used to be introduced as a fashion diva and anchor. But, he is a personality to look up to. Secondly, he took his father's business from a boutique production house to a mass production house. He has also given breaks to several talented film directors—Ayan Mukerji, Shashank Khaitan. He has also given break to several stars and star kids. He has created shows for television and OTT. He even changed the scale of award shows by being an anchor. He has done a lot of great things." On Anurag Kashyap, Agnihotri credited the Gangs of Wasseypur director with reviving the spirit of independent cinema. 'Before him, it was Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani and Prakash Jha. But they too turned into commercial directors. But Anurag has fought a war and he has given break to several small-town boys and girls. He has instilled confidence in people whose war was with English. Today, they believe even they are capable of doing something in life. Several talented people have come from Anurag—both filmmakers, and actors," he observed. However, Agnihotri also noted what he sees as a creative plateau in Kashyap's journey, 'Despite all these achievements, I personally believe he has not exploited his full potential. Maybe due to his own complexities, he is yet to exploit his full potential. He took a flight, up and quick, and then there was no conclusion to that. He couldn't take his own success to a logical conclusion." The conversation then turned to Animal and Kabir Singh director Sandeep Reddy Vanga—someone Agnihotri described as his 'alter ego in the industry." 'Sandeep Reddy Vanga is more like my alter ego in the industry. Just like me he speaks fearlessly," he said. On the persistent criticisms of toxic masculinity in Vanga's work, Agnihotri defended the director's vision. 'People question Sandeep Reddy Vanga for toxic masculinity, but what is really happening in the society? Isn't it the truth? Does your society respect women? It is just his storytelling. He is showing the world to the people from his point of view," he explained. He further elaborated on the importance of perspective in storytelling, drawing a comparison with his own work and Shekhar Kapur's Bandit Queen. 'Many asked me 'Why did you not show the film from the other point of view?' How can I do that? Why will I show the film from a terrorist's point of view? And how will I even make an attempt at it when I don't even know how they see the world? Even Shekhar Kapur was questioned when he made Bandit Queen from Phoolan Devi's perspective. But, over a period of time, people realised that Bandit Queen was right. After Pahalgam attack, people realised Kashmir Files was right. I am not claiming that I believe in Vanga. I am just saying he has the right to tell stories from his point of view. People who are abusing him, are also using their right. But, at the end of the day, he is laughing looking at his bank." As a parting thought, Agnihotri suggested that the backlash against Vanga isn't rooted in moral outrage—but envy. 'If his movies will fail, nobody will have an issue. They are having an issue, because it is working for him," he concluded. view comments First Published: August 04, 2025, 22:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
