Sandeep Reddy Vanga Ignites Frenzy With The Sound Story Of Prabhas' Spirit

Hyderabad, October 24 - Love him or hate him, but no one can ignore Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The filmmaker, known for his unapologetic, unfiltered, and intense brand of storytelling, has once again become the talk of the nation after unveiling the Sound Story of his upcoming film Spirit, starring Prabhas, which has sent fans into a frenzy across the internet. The short yet powerful Sound Story offers a glimpse into the world Vanga is creating with Spirit, and it's everything one would expect from him. Without showing a single frame, the teaser managed to raise goosebumps, setting social media abuzz and trending within hours of release. The sound story offers a key dialogue sequence of Spirit without showing any frame. The teaser confirms that Prabhas plays an IPS officer who was once an academy topper but turns a remand prisoner because of his 'one bad habit', which has left everyone guessing. In his signature bold style, Sandeep Reddy Vanga also referred to Prabhas as "India's biggest superstar" — and it's hard to argue with that. Over the past decade, no actor has delivered the kind of box office dominance that Prabhas has, from Baahubali to Kalki 2898 AD. The collaboration between SRV and Prabhas is being hailed as one of the most explosive combinations in contemporary Indian cinema. SRV has also revealed the majority of the main cast of Spirit, produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures. Alongside Prabhas, the film stars Tripti Dimri as the female lead, Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj, and veteran South Indian actress Kanchana in key roles. Fans are calling Spirit "the next cinematic storm," with expectations skyrocketing for what Vanga will deliver after Kabir Singh and Animal. The director, who thrives on polarising opinions, seems set to push boundaries once again — this time on a much grander scale with Prabhas leading the charge. Spirit is expected to start rolling by the end of this year or early 2026. The film will be released in multiple Indian and international languages, most likely in 2027. The system knows his record.The streets know his rage.Now the world will know his #OneBadHabit. #Spirit Sound Story Out Now in all Languages 🔥#HappyBirthdayPrabhas ❤️#Prabhas @imvangasandeep pic.twitter.com/B2iPMGKn0P— Spirit (@InSpiritMode) October 23, 2025 Stay tuned...

Spirit Runtime Update: Prabhas' Actioner Will Be Shorter Than Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Arjun Reddy and Animal

Hyderabad, September 6 – Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is known for his intense, emotionally charged dramas like blockbusters Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, and Animal, has revealed the potential theatrical runtime of his highly-awaited film Spirit starring pan-India superstar Prabhas. In a recent interaction, Vanga hinted that Spirit could be his shortest film to date in terms of runtime. During a talk show called Jayammu Nischayammu Raa on Zee5, SRV was asked about what the theatrical runtime of Spirit would be by host Jagapathi Babu. The blockbuster director, who is teaming up with Prabhas for the first time, revealed that he would make sure that the runtime remains below 3 hours. If this happens, it will probably be his shortest film, even shorter than Shahid Kapoor-fronted Kabir Singh. This is a surprising revelation considering the director's past works, which are known for their extended screen time, layered storytelling, and detailed character arcs. Kabir Singh (2019) was 172 minutes (2 hours and 52 minutes) long, while Vanga's other two movies, Arjun Reddy and Animal, clocked over 3 hours of runtime. Apart from runtime, SRV also revealed that for Spirit, 70% of the music is already done, as he feels that it is easier to shoot a film when the BGM is playing in the background, as we can easily tell when to cut. "During Kabir Singh, I realised that if the RR is done before the shoot begins, then it makes shooting much easier. I didn’t have those privileges during Arjun Reddy, but for Animal, 80% of the RR was done before the shoot itself," he said. The film marks Vanga's first collaboration with Prabhas, who will be seen playing a powerful cop in this high-voltage action drama. Given Prabhas' massive fan base and Vanga's reputation for hard-hitting, controversial storytelling, expectations are sky-high for Spirit, which is being mounted on a massive scale. Produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures, Spirit is one of the most anticipated Indian films, promising a blend of action, emotion, and Vanga's signature intensity. With the director now hinting at a sharper runtime, fans are curious to see how this change in storytelling style translates on the big screen. The film, which has Tripti Dimri as the female lead as she reunites with Vanga after Animal, is currently in the pre-production stage and is expected to go on floors soon. It is expected to be released by late 2026 in multiple Indian and international languages. Stay tuned...

Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 vs Siddhant Chaturvedi–Tripti Dimri's Dhadak 2 Box Office: A Final Nail In The Franchises' Coffin?

Mumbai, August 23 - In Hollywood, the superhero fatigue has been real, especially post the Covid-19 pandemic, where MCU and DC films (barring a few) have not performed to the level of pre-Covid. This led to debate whether the audience is moving away from superhero films, other than die-hard fans who are still keeping those films alive. While superhero films may or may not survive this fatigue in the long run in the West, there is franchise fatigue brewing in the Indian cinema, especially in Bollywood, and it seems real. In 2025, there have been half a dozen franchise Bollywood releases so far, and barring only Raid 2, all other films failed to become hits at the box office. The first week of August 2025 saw the release of two highly anticipated Bollywood sequels, Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 and Siddhant Chaturvedi-Tripti Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2. Both films carried the weight of their predecessors' names, but unfortunately, neither managed to ignite the box office, further showing the disconnection of audiences with sequels. While failure or success is the part and parcel of cinema, what was alarming was that these sequels struggled to even match the opening day numbers of their originals, sparking discussions about whether the franchises have reached their end. Even other franchise films like War 2 and Housefull 4 failed to take big openings, thus ending up as box office failures. Released on the same day, August 1st, Son of Sardaar 2 took an initial lead in the clash, with an underwhelming opening of around 7.25 crore. However, despite the better start compared to Dhadak 2, the film has grossed only around 65 crore worldwide in 3 weeks, ending up as a disaster. Ajay Devgn- On the other hand, Dhadak 2 fared even worse. Opening with a meagre 3.50 crore net, the film collected only 30 crores worldwide in 3 weeks. Despite featuring promising talent like Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tripti Dimri, the sequel failed to capture the cultural resonance that the first Dhadak—a remake of Sairat—enjoyed. The combined total of both films will be less than 100 crores, against over 260 crores of the original films. What made matters worse for both films was the dominance of Saiyaara, which has been on a record-breaking spree, and Mahavatar Narsimha, which continues to pull massive family audiences. With these two blockbusters commanding the majority of footfalls, Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 could not find breathing space at the ticket counters. In the end, while Son of Sardaar 2 clearly outperformed Dhadak 2 in raw numbers, both sequels have been branded as big flops. Their disappointing runs suggest that the audience's appetite for these franchises has dried up. Unless revived with radically fresh storytelling, this box office clash may well have hammered the final nail in the coffins of the Son of Sardaar and Dhadak series. Stay tuned...
