After gaining nationwide fame with the movie ‘Animal‘, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s unique directing skills have mesmerized everyone. Although his talent was already known to the Telugu audience from ‘Arjun Reddy‘, it was ‘Animal’ that made it clear to the entire country. It is known that his next project is with Prabhas. Sandeep is currently busy with the pre-production work of ‘Spirit‘. A crazy update about this movie is making rounds online, and it is being touted as the biggest movie in Prabhas’ career. Let’s look at the details.
With a massive budget…
There are high expectations nationwide for ‘Spirit’, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas. Everyone is eagerly waiting for this film to start shooting. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is currently busy with pre-production. In the meantime, news about this movie is causing a stir online. The budget for this film is rumored to be around Rs. 1000 crores. Initially, the budget was said to be Rs. 500 crores, later reports suggested it increased to Rs. 750 crores. Now, the buzz is that it has reached Rs. 1000 crores. If true, this would make ‘Spirit’ the biggest movie in terms of budget in Prabhas’ career.
Remunerations amount to Rs. 600 crores!
It is reported that out of the budget allocated for ‘Spirit’, Rs. 600 crores will be spent on remunerations alone. Film circles are buzzing that Prabhas, who will be playing a dual role, is set to receive about Rs. 300 crores. Given that he is taking on two roles, this remuneration is considered justifiable. Similarly, Bollywood stars Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Kareena Kapoor are said to have special roles in the movie. With such star power, the film’s budget necessarily includes a significant amount for remunerations. Additionally, Rs. 300 crores are allocated for movie making, Rs. 120-150 crores for graphics, and another Rs. 50-80 crores for promotions.
Mammootty in a special role!
There is strong buzz that a star hero will be acting in ‘Spirit’. Malayalam superstar Mammootty is rumored to play a crucial role in the film, which is said to be vital to the story. An official announcement from the film unit is awaited. The movie is also rumored to feature Bollywood couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in roles with negative shades, along with Korean and Chinese stars.
Police vs. Mafia Don!
There is strong buzz that Prabhas will perform dual roles in ‘Spirit’. He is said to appear as a police officer in one role and as a mafia don in another, the latter having negative shades. If this is true, fans are anticipating a box office sensation. The film is expected to start shooting from January 25 next year. Previously, Prabhas has played dual roles in three films. His first was ‘Billa‘, followed by dual roles in the ‘Baahubali‘ series, and he is rumored to be doing the same in the upcoming ‘Raja Saab‘.
