Prabhas, the Pan India star, has a series of films lined up, including The Raja Saab, set to release on January 9th, coinciding with the Sankranti festival. He's currently shooting for Hanu Raghavapudi's Fauji and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, a global scale release.
Spirit has made headlines with its digital rights selling for a record Rs 160 crores, showcasing the trust in Prabhas stardom and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's direction. The film's shooting is progressing rapidly, with Prabhas taking on the role of a police officer, requiring him to shed some kilos. Tripti Dimri is the female lead, while Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj, and others play key roles.
The production team promises intense action sequences, setting up a gritty, larger than life persona for Prabhas. Rumors suggest one action block is being shot in a prison setting, adding energy and fresh conflict to the narrative. Sandeep Reddy Vanga is known for raw, emotional, and bold storytelling, and fans expect Spirit to deliver mass appeal thrills and intense drama.
Spirit is gearing up for a 2027 theatrical release, with Prabhas reportedly maintaining a low profile for six months to prevent leaks about his look. The film's digital deal has sparked surprise, given its early stage, but it's a testament to the trust in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's vision.
