Everyone is eagerly waiting to see when this film will hit the sets. Currently busy with pre-production, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is now part of a hot topic online. Rumors suggest that Bollywood’s senior actress Kareena Kapoor will be starring opposite Prabhas.

Fans are already speculating about the chemistry between Prabhas and Kareena Kapoor. An official announcement from the Spirit unit is awaited.
Prabhas’ Villain, Again!
Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan has recently been the go-to villain in films. After playing Ravana in ‘Adipurush‘ and an antagonist in ‘Devara’ against Tarak, he impressed everyone with his fierce portrayal in the recently released ‘Devara’ trailer. Another buzz about ‘Spirit’ indicates that Saif Ali Khan will also appear in a negative role in this film as well. He is expected to portray a powerful character opposing Prabhas. Interestingly, the rumored heroine Kareena Kapoor happens to be Saif Ali Khan’s wife, adding intrigue to the dynamics as the heroine’s husband will be seen as the villain. If true, this setup is expected to elevate the expectations from ‘Spirit’ to a new level.
Police vs. Mafia Don!
There is a strong buzz that Prabhas will perform dual roles in ‘Spirit’. The script work is reportedly complete, and only the dialogues are left to finalize. According to the buzz, Prabhas will play both a police officer and a mafia don, with the don character having negative shades. If this turns out to be true, a blockbuster at the box office is assured. Additionally, a special poster is expected to be released on Prabhas’ birthday on October 10, and the film is set to go on floors by January 25 next year. Prabhas has previously played dual roles in three films. His first dual role was in ‘Billa’, followed by ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Baahubali 2’. Recently, there has been talk that Prabhas will also appear in dual roles in the upcoming ‘Raja Saab’.
How Many Crores for Spirit’s Budget?
Any film with Pan-India Rebel Star Prabhas is a guaranteed blockbuster at the box office, prompting producers to confidently invest in his projects. Producers are not shying away from allocating massive budgets for Prabhas’ films, which are often produced with hundreds of crores. In line with this, there is talk circulating online about the budget for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial ‘Spirit’, produced in collaboration with Bollywood production house T-Series.
