Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga has reportedly cancelled the New Year break for his upcoming cop actioner Spirit. The shoot will now continue without interruption until early January 2026, extending the original production schedule.
Media reports state that Sandeep had planned to wrap up filming by the end of December. A break was scheduled for New Year celebrations. That plan changed after the team began the Hyderabad schedule on November 27.
With the latest schedule in place, the team will continue shooting until the first week of January 2026. Only after that will the unit take a short break. The decision reflects a clear shift in planning.
Trade reports suggest the move is linked to a revised release timeline. Spirit is now expected to release in mid-2027 instead of the previously planned December 2027 window.
By shooting through the New Year week, the makers aim to save crucial production time. This helps the team stay aligned with the updated release schedule without further delays.
The decision highlights the team's commitment to delivering the film at the earliest. Even festive celebrations have taken a back seat to maintain momentum on the project.
Fans of Sandeep, Prabhas, and Triptii Dimri are already highly excited about the film. News of the extended shoot has further added to the anticipation surrounding Spirit.
Spirit marks the first collaboration between Sandeep and Prabhas. Both are widely known for delivering massive blockbuster hits, making this pairing one of the most awaited.
The film also stars Vivek Oberoi as the antagonist opposite Prabhas. This casting choice has generated interest and is expected to add depth to the narrative.
More official details regarding casting and scheduling are awaited. For now, the Spirit team appears set to spend the New Year together, following a tight and disciplined shooting schedule.
