Spirit: When will Prabhas begin shooting for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's cop drama with Triptii Dimri?
When will shooting for Spirit begin?
Recently, at an event, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's brother, Pranay, spilled the beans over the much-awaited update on the film. Speaking at the Celebrity Cricket Mela event in the USA, he confirmed that the Prabhas starrer would go on floors and begin shooting from September 2025 onwards.
Prabhas to shoot Spirit with no breaks?
As per a previous report, it was claimed that Sandeep Reddy Vanga had requested Prabhas to allot him bulk dates for the shooting of Spirit. The primary reason behind this is that the movie requires the actor to pull off a completely new look and physique.
As a result, it would be difficult for Prabhas to change it for any other project midway through the shoot. Thus, the actor would complete all his pending work and only then begin with Spirit, so that it is completed in one go.
Triptii Dimri replaced Deepika Padukone as lead opposite Prabhas
The project Spirit garnered significant attention lately when Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone allegedly walked out of the film, and soon enough, the makers announced Triptii Dimri as the new lead.
For the uninitiated, Triptii has already collaborated with Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles.
The move by the Piku actress created quite a bit of controversy, as it was speculated that she quit after the producers and makers failed to meet her demands. Buzz about demanding a fixed schedule also flooded in, after which she stepped down from the project.
Prabhas' work front
Fast forward to now, Prabhas is eyeing a December 2025 release with Maruthi-directed romantic horror comedy, The Raja Saab. Besides this, he also has Hanu Raghavapudi's movie, tentatively titled Fauji.

Radhika Madan supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand: 'Male actors are given that privilege'
As the dialogues continue around the grueling nature of shoot schedules, Radhika Madan has also expressed her displeasure regarding the imbalance of hours between male and female actors in the industry, having appeared in 'Angrezi Medium', 'Pataakha', 'Shiddat', and 'Sarfira'. The topic gained recent attention following Deepika Padukone 's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, where she was said to have asked for an eight-hour workday, which prompted renewed discussion around work-life balance and gender inequity within Bollywood. Radhika Madan on eight-hour shoot days The actress told Hindustan Times that she has had both 12-to-14-hour days of shooting and shorter days of eight hours. She believes that the work itself is the same, but working against deadlines allows the team to be more committed and concentrated, therefore, the shoot takes place within that time. She said she has seen films filmed, and released, and even be box office successes, all under these turns of time, and if she had not seen it herself, she would not have believed it to be possible to work and achieve, within working hours. On equality in Bollywood At a recent event, Radhika addressed the ongoing discussion regarding workplace equality in the Bollywood industry. She added that whenever women stand by working conditions equal to their male counterparts, those demands should be treated as commonplace rather than unreasonable claims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo She affirmed that these kinds of discussions can be collaborative when the respect and understanding are mutual, and she also pointed out that part of the concern comes from the availability of time privileges that some male actors have but not many women. Touching upon her own experience with professional burnout, Madan recalled the toll of working across seven projects in a single year. She shared that the emotional weight of multiple roles affected her deeply, leading to depression and forcing her to seek help. According to her, the industry needs to recognize the reality of burnout and move towards greater equality—without favouring male actors with special treatment. Recalls her marathon shoot days During a recent YouTube vlog with Farah Khan, the actress revisited her debut experience and the grueling schedule that came with it. When Farah remarked that Radhika probably didn't have an eight-hour shift on her first show, Radhika responded that she had endured non-stop shoots lasting 48 to 56 hours. Farah then added her own perspective, noting that she doesn't advocate for the eight-hour work model either, quipping that such relentless effort is what creates something truly valuable—comparing it to how gold is forged through intense pressure.
