Prabhas upcoming film Spirit directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga has been delayed due to the actor injury. The film was initially scheduled to go on floors in January 2025 but the latest update suggests that the shoot has now been pushed to June 2025. Prabhas sustained an injury on the sets of Fauji and traveled to Europe for treatment causing significant delays in the production schedules of his other films.\r\nPrabhas is currently working on multiple films simultaneously including Spirit The Raja Saab with Maruthi and Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 directed by Nag Ashwin. Sandeep Reddy Vanga wants to commence Spirit only after Prabhas wraps up his ongoing projects and can dedicate bulk dates to the cop drama. Since Prabhas needs to sport a new look for Spirit he must first complete The Raja Saab and Fauji before committing to the role.\r\nWith Prabhas juggling multiple commitments scheduling conflicts have created a bit of chaos. Among them Spirit seems to be the most affected and by the looks of it the film may not be released in 2025 and could be pushed to 2026. Prabhas is known for focusing on one project at a time but he now finds himself managing multiple commitments simultaneously.\r\nPrabhas fans are eagerly awaiting updates on his upcoming films including Spirit The Raja Saab and Kalki 2898 AD Part 2. With the actor busy schedule and multiple projects in the pipeline fans are excited to see how he will manage to sort out his schedule in the coming months.
