After Animal, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is set to create another universe with Prabhas leading Spirit, a film already generating massive anticipation.

In Spirit, Prabhas plays a fierce police officer, with Triptii Dimri as the female lead. Vanga plans to turn this film into a full-fledged franchise, centered around Prabhas's cop character. The movie may end with an open climax, keeping you hooked for future installments a storytelling style Vanga mastered in Animal.

Filming begins in February 2026, once Prabhas completes The Raja Saab, scheduled for a January release. The first schedule takes place in Mumbai for a major flashback sequence. Later, the team will move to Mexico, Indonesia, and Thailand for large-scale action sequences, promising global visuals and high production value.

Prabhas has already completed look tests, and two distinct avatars have been finalised. This hints that his role spans multiple timelines or emotional shades, adding depth to his character and to the overall story.

Spirit is shaping up to be a grand action-cop drama with worldwide appeal. With Vanga's signature intensity, Prabhas in a power-packed role, and international scale, the film is among 2026's most awaited pan-India releases. Fans are eager to see how this new cinematic universe begins.

However, Spirit must deliver a complete experience on its own. Recent pan-India films like Devara and Kingdom struggled because their cliffhanger endings felt incomplete. Prabhas fans don't want another long wait like Salaar 2 or Kalki 2. They want closure, not just setup.
