Sandeep Reddy Vanga is on a roll, with the success of Kabir Singh and Animal, and he's now gearing up for his third film in Bollywood. His next project, Spirit, starring Prabhas, is all set for a 2026 release and will go on floors in the first quarter of 2025. The film's pre-production is currently underway, and the casting for the action-packed thriller is also in progress.
As per the latest buzz, SRV, along with producer Bhushan Kumar, is in talks with Mrunal Thakur to join the cast as the female lead. The film is supposed to be one of the most awaited and ambitious projects in Indian cinema, and the team has gone all out to cast the best actors. While Prabhas will be seen as the cop, Mrunal is also in talks for the female lead, and reports also suggest that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor may join the cast in negative roles.
The reports suggest that Spirit is going to be a one-of-its-kind cop-based action thriller, and it's also being said that this is Vanga's attempt to change the outlook towards cop-based films. The source reportedly said, "It's a story like never before, in the template of a commercial Indian Film. There are good people and bad people in the tale, but with a lot of elements of grey that Vanga is known for." The writing work and prep are currently on in full swing, and those who've heard the narration believe that Prabhas will be seen in a never-before avatar in Vanga's Spirit.
With a star-studded cast and an ambitious storyline, Spirit is shaping up to be one of the most exciting projects in Indian cinema. Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Spirit is likely to be released in 2026. With Vanga's direction and a talented cast, fans can expect a thrilling ride with Spirit.
