\r\nThe highly anticipated film Spirit, starring Prabhas and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has been delayed once again. The film was initially slated to start production in February, but it was pushed to summer, and later to September. However, the latest news suggests that the shoot may start at the end of 2025 or early 2026. The delay is attributed to Prabhas\' commitment to other films, including \'The Raja Saab\' and \'Prabhas Hanu\'.\r\nPrabhas is currently working on \'Prabhas Hanu\', a period film directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, which is unlikely to be completed by September. Additionally, some songs and action scenes for \'The Raja Saab\' are yet to be filmed, which may further delay the start of Spirit\'s production. Sandeep Reddy Vanga wants Prabhas to commit exclusively to Spirit, but with his current schedule, it\'s unlikely that the film will start production as planned.\r\nSpirit is Sandeep Reddy Vanga\'s next mega project after \'Animal\', and Prabhas is said to be playing the role of a passionate police officer. The film will feature Tripti Dimri as the lead heroine, marking her debut in South Indian cinema. The film\'s plot and other details are yet to be revealed, but fans are eagerly awaiting its release.\r\nThe delay in Spirit\'s production is not surprising, given Prabhas\' busy schedule and Sandeep Reddy Vanga\'s meticulous approach to filmmaking. Fans will have to wait a little longer to see Prabhas in this highly anticipated film. With its promising cast and crew, Spirit is expected to be a major hit in the coming months.\r\n
