The shooting of The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, is currently happening in Hyderabad. He is expected to be fully involved in this schedule until the end of this month, after which the entire talkie part of the film will be completed.
Fans have long been waiting for an update on Spirit, the big-budget film that Prabhas is doing with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The project was officially announced a long time ago, even before Animal was released.

While Animal hit theatres more than a year and half ago and became a blockbuster, Spirit hasn’t even started shooting yet.
During Animal promotions, Sandeep had said that the script work for Spirit was almost done, and only the final dialogue version was pending. He promised that the shoot would begin in the second half of 2024.

However, there have been no signs of it starting, leading to confusion over whether the delay is due to the director or Prabhas himself.
Initially, Deepika Padukone was approached for the female lead, but due to remuneration issues, the role was offered to Animal fame Triptii Dimri.

That news created some buzz, and now discussions have resumed with Sandeep Reddy finally confirming that Spirit will go on floors this September.
According to insiders, once The Raja Saab and Fauji (directed by Hanu Raghavapudi) wrap up by September, Prabhas will focus completely on Spirit.
The film is expected to be massive, with some estimating a 1000 crore scale. Sandeep has also hinted that Spirit will have a wide release in multiple Indian and international languages.
Fans, who were growing impatient, are now thrilled after the official announcement and eagerly look forward to this mega project beginning soon.
