Telugu cinema continues to pour resources into pan-Indian films, even as profits decline. Only Telugu pan-Indian films are pulling in hundreds of crores at the box office. Following the success of ‘Salaar’ and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, producers of Prabhas’s films have realized the need to focus on outstanding action scenes and advanced visual effects.
Audiences expect grand action spectacles from Prabhas, pushing producers to significantly increase the budgets for his films. Among Prabhas’s many projects, Sandeep Vanga’s action drama ‘Spirit’ is generating the most excitement among fans. After the huge success of the Bollywood film ‘Animal’, Sandeep Reddy Vanga has risen to become one of India’s top directors, with fans eagerly awaiting his next big project.
In ‘Spirit’, Prabhas will play the role of a police officer. According to sources close to the production, the film’s budget will exceed Rs 500 crore. For comparison, Prabhas’s previous blockbuster, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, had a budget of Rs 450 crore. Filming for ‘Spirit’ is expected to start in early 2025.
