Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's upcoming film Spirit faced a lot of controversy lately, concerning the female lead of the project. Well, the Prabhas-starrer cop drama was initially set to have Deepika Padukone as the leading lady. However, the actress dropped out of the project due to the demand for fixed work hours, and later, Triptii was announced as the new leading lady.
Triptii Dimri opens up on doing Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Triptii Dimri, for the first time, opened up about working on Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film, Spirit. The actress mentioned that it's one of her upcoming projects at the moment, and she's really excited about it. Moreover, she also spilled tea on what kind of film it is expected to be.
She said, 'I've just been working with Vishal, and that film is also going to come out soon, so I'm quite excited about that. After that, of course, comes Mr. Vanga's Spirit, and I'm really excited about it. It's a beautiful film.'
Sandeep Reddy Vanga is aiming for a musical blockbuster with Spirit?
A previous Rangasthalam report claimed that Sandeep Reddy Vanga had finalized the musical compositions for Spirit, along with composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar.
That's not all. The report further mentioned that production for Spirit will begin in the second week of September 2025 and that the makers aim to make the film a musical blockbuster to the core.
However, an official confirmation on the matter is yet to be made by the makers.
When will Prabhas begin shooting for Spirit?
One of the key highlights of this film is undoubtedly the star presence of Prabhas, who will be playing a cop in Spirit. According to previous reports, Sandeep Reddy Vanga had reportedly asked the actor to allot bulk dates for the movie, so that it could be shot in one continuous take.
Interestingly, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's brother, Pranay, during his appearance at the Celebrity Cricket Mela event in the USA back on July 4, spilled the tea on the actor's shooting schedule for Spirit.
He mentioned that Prabhas would be joining the sets from September 2025 onwards, which is when the movie would also go on floors.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection Day 4: Pawan Kalyan's film surpasses Thandel's domestic total despite poor reviews, nears Nani's HIT with Rs 75.65 cr

Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection Day 4: Actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan returned to the big screen after a gap of two years with Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1. The highly anticipated film opened at the box office with good numbers. However, since its first day, the film has witnessed a fall in its collections. According to Sacnilk, it raked in Rs 11 crore on Sunday, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 75.65 crore. Hari Hara Veera Mallu began its box office journey by earning Rs 34.75 crore on its opening day. Pawan Kalyan's Telugu fanbase remained the biggest draw for the film, as it earned the majority of its opening day revenue from Telugu-speaking states — Rs 34.65 crore to be exact. The film collected negligible amounts from other language versions. From its Hindi and Kannada versions, it earned just Rs 1 lakh each, while the Tamil and Malayalam versions earned Rs 3 lakh and Rs 5 lakh, respectively, on day one. The film witnessed a 76 percent drop in its collections on Friday, earning Rs 8 crore. This was followed by a slight uptick over the weekend — Rs 9.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 11 crore on Sunday. On Sunday, the Pawan Kalyan-starrer recorded an overall 36.14% occupancy in the Telugu market, with maximum footfall during afternoon and evening shows. Hari Hara Veera Mallu has surpassed the performance of Pawan Kalyan's last film Bro, which had earned Rs 67.85 crore within four days of release—less than Hari Hara Veera Mallu's current domestic total of Rs 75.65 crore. Despite the steep decline in daily collections, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has managed to climb to the 7th spot among the highest-grossing Telugu films. It has overtaken the total domestic collection of Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya's Thandel, which stood at Rs 65.49 crore. The film is now just Rs 5 crore short of surpassing the total domestic collection of Nani's HIT: The Third Case, which earned Rs 80.75 crore. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A M Jyothi Krishna, Hari Hara Veera Mallu features a screenplay by Jagarlamudi and Sai Madhav Burra. The film stars Pawan Kalyan in the titular role, alongside Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Sathyaraj in key roles.

'Thammudu' OTT release: When and where to watch Nithiin's action drama; read more

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After its theatrical release on July 4, 2025, 'Thammudu' is all set for its digital debut. The Nithiin-starrer, which struggled at the box office amid mixed-to-negative reviews, will begin streaming on Netflix from August 1. The platform confirmed the release date through an official post that read, 'Thana lakshyanni, akkani thirigi thevadaniki ee thammudu is on a mission!' The film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, opening it up to a broader South Indian audience. A story of siblings, survival, and skill 'Thammudu' follows Jai, played by Nithiin , a gifted archer separated from his sister Jhansi in childhood. Years later, Jhansi, now a principled government officer, refuses to sign a falsified report about a chemical factory explosion in Vizag. Her moral stand turns her into a target of powerful and corrupt forces. As her world begins to crumble, Jai reenters her life. The hero is determined to protect her and her family using not just courage, but also the precision of his bow. Even with an intriguing plot, the movie had received mostly mixed reviews from the audiences. Thammudu - Official Trailer A packed cast and a new turn for familiar faces Directed and written by Venu Sriram, 'Thammudu' marks his first collaboration with Nithiin. The film also brings actress Laya back to Telugu screens, years after her brief appearance in Amar Akbar Anthony. The supporting cast includes Sapthami Gowda, Varsha Bollamma, Saurabh Sachdeva, Swasika, and Hari Teja, among others. B. Ajaneesh Loknath's music received decent responses from the viewers. ETimes gave the movie a rating of only 2 stars out of 5 and an excerpt from our official review read, "On the technical front, the film is visually appealing, with cinematographer KV Guhan capturing the tribal locales with flair. Ajaneesh Loknath's background score is atmospheric but rarely elevates the emotional beats. The action choreography is stylised, though several sequences stretch believability, further distancing the viewer from the story's emotional core. Thammudu had all the ingredients for a stirring emotional-action drama, but in trying too hard to be everything, it ends up being less than the sum of its parts. A film that had the potential to hit the bullseye sadly misses the mark."

When Dhanush revealed Aanand L Rai put in his own money to hire him for Raanjhanaa: ‘They didn't have the right kind of budget for me'

Dhanush, a force to reckon with in the Tamil film industry, made a memorable Bollywood debut with Aanand L Rai's 2013 romantic drama Raanjhanaa. He played Kundan, a Varanasi boy who goes from being an unrequited lover to a key political voice in New Delhi. The actor revealed last month on the film's 12th anniversary that he almost didn't do the film because of budgetary constraints. 'At that time, they didn't have the right kind of budget for hiring me as the lead actor. But this man's (Aanand L Rai) passion was so strong that he just wanted me to play Kundan. He could have offered any actor this part and they would have happily come on board. After all, it's such a great part,' said Dhanush at a special fan screening of Raanjhanaa. 'But he went against all odds. I don't know I am supposed to say this and I don't care! He invested his own money as well. He went all out (to cast me). He saw Kundan in me and he stayed true to his vision,' added Dhanush. The actor confessed that he didn't feel as nervous on his debut Tamil film as he did on his first Hindi film, for the same reason. 'I was not scared during my first film. When I was written off, I was not scared. That's how I am. But for the first time, I was scared. I felt responsible. So, I was praying so hard to God that 'Somehow save this man,'' said Dhanush, adding, 'They made a cult classic. It is not the story of Kundan and Zoya. It is the story of two mad men who believed in this.' Also Read: Eros denies Aanand L Rai's stand on re-release of Raanjhanaa, says using AI to present 'a respectful creative reinterpretation' of original Raanjhanaa also stars Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, Swara Bhaskar, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. Last year, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aanand L Rai also revealed he initially planned to cast Ranbir Kapoor for Kundan's role. 'An actor who keeps himself simple and lets himself blend into the crowd, which is a difficult thing, I believe Ranbir Kapoor is like this, but he was not available at that time and as we were searching for such an actor, we found Dhanush,' said Rai, who went on to collaborate with Dhanush in the 2021 film Atrangi Re and the upcoming movie Tere Ishq Mein, which is from 'the same world as Raanjhanaa.'
