Prabhas is currently working on two highly anticipated films, Spirit and Fauji. Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, started filming towards the end of last year, while Fauji, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, began shooting earlier. The makers of Fauji had initially announced an August 2026 release, but recent updates suggest a change in plans.

Spirit is set to release on March 5, 2027, and is expected to generate massive hype among audiences. The film's announcement has led to speculation about Fauji's release date, with reports suggesting it might be pushed to the second half of 2027. This means Spirit will be Prabhas' next theatrical release, followed by Fauji.

Both Spirit and Fauji carry strong buzz among audiences, but Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit is expected to create more excitement. With its unique storyline and Prabhas' powerful performance, Spirit is likely to be a game changer. Fauji, on the other hand, is also highly anticipated, given Prabhas' collaboration with Hanuman Raghavapudi after his Sita Ramam and Mythri Banner.

The release of Spirit on March 5, 2027, will set the tone for Prabhas' future projects. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how these two films will perform and which one will be the ultimate showstopper.

\r\nNidhhi Agerwal shares her thoughts on negative PR. Nidhhi Agerwal who starred in high profile entertainers like Pawan Kalyan\'s Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Prabhas\' The Raja Saab, speaking to scribes shared her thoughts on negative PR.\r\nShe said &ldquo;Itna negative PR hota hai (there\'s so much negative PR). There are so many attacks that happen, even things like BookMyShow ratings and IMDb ratings. There is a certain section of paid reviews. People pay a lot of money to pull others down, and sometimes I feel people pay more money to pull others down than to lift themselves up. Recently, mujhpe bhi ek do negative campaigns had started, but we stopped them immediately. Because I was just like, dude, I am going to push myself in a good way, but if you do something negative, then I am going to do it right back.&rdquo;\r\nShe continued&nbsp; &ldquo;That&rsquo;s very bad. People pay a lot of money for this. And I think it&rsquo;s horrible. Because actors are very sensitive and emotional. They are child-like from the inside. I feel it&rsquo;s really not good for their mental health. You feel attacked. Public personalities public property nahi hoti (Public personalities are not Public properties). Everyone has parents at home, and you are answerable to them. It&rsquo;s not nice.&rdquo;\r\n
