Now, the wait for a major update is over. At a recent event in the United States, Sandeep's brother, Pranay Reddy Vanga, confirmed that the film will officially go on floors in September 2025. Spirit marks the first collaboration between the Baahubali star and the Kabir Singh director, and expectations are already sky-high. According to earlier reports, Sandeep had specifically requested Prabhas to allot bulk dates for the film, as the role will require a complete physical and stylistic overhaul. This level of transformation would make it difficult for the actor to shoot for other films concurrently, prompting Prabhas to wrap up his existing commitments before fully immersing himself into the world of Spirit.

Backed by Mass Movie Makers, SKN is currently producing a slew of promising films, including Chennai Love Story with Kiran Abbavaram, the Hindi remake of Baby, and projects with debutant directors. Speaking candidly, SKN credited his transition from PRO to producer to filmmaker Maruthi's encouragement. 'Maruthi asked me, 'Will you remain a PRO forever?' That's how EeRojullo happened, and my production journey began,' he shared. The Hindi remake of Baby is set to begin filming next month, with an intensified narrative and meticulous pre-production. Meanwhile, Chennai Love Story is already on floors, and new projects with directors Krishna and Avinash are in the pipeline.

Upset over Sabah's exclusion
Published on: Wednesday, July 02, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jul 02, 2025 By: Sherell Jeffrey Text Size: Jeffrey also spoke about the recent federal decisions regarding the Ambalat area, which he maintains falls within Sabah's territorial boundaries. Kota Kinabalu: Jeffrey also expressed disappointment over Sabah being excluded from hosting a federal technical committee meeting on the state's 40 per cent revenue entitlement, which was scheduled for June 30. Despite cabinet approval and preparations to host the meeting, Jeffrey said that a crucial letter to the Prime Minister was never sent by the State Secretariat office (SKN). 'I am disappointed, because we were looking forward at least to try and get some kind of conclusion to the 40 per cent payment,' he said, adding he would seek explanations (from the State Secretary) on why the letter was not forwarded despite State Cabinet agreement. Jeffrey also spoke about the recent federal decisions regarding the Ambalat area, which he maintains falls within Sabah's territorial boundaries. 'Ambalat has been decided that that area is within our Sabah territory and if this decision was truly made without consulting Sabah, then it is not good, it is another way of bypassing the rights of Sabah,' he said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

The Raja Saab Creative Producer Claims There Was A Negative Campaign Against Prabhas's Film
Sreenivas Kumar Naidu (SKN), who serves as a creative producer on Prabhas's upcoming film The Raja Saab, on Monday claimed how a producer in the Telugu film industry ran a negative campaign against the horror fantasy film. Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab is set to be released on December 5. It is produced by People Media Factory. SKN made the revelation at the teaser launch of The Raja Saab in Hyderabad today. While he didn't take any names, the creative producer alleged that a Tollywood producer had actively tried to derail the project in its early days. "I am well aware of how a producer tried to negatively campaign on this film when they began shooting. Now see how the same producer will talk positively about the film tomorrow," he said. He expressed full confidence in The Raja Saab. "Everybody who underestimated this film will change their mind. You'll see the 'rebel god' Prabhas, whom you've missed for a decade now," he added. SKN praised Prabhas for standing by the film despite all the noise. "This film was only made possible because Prabhas gave his best without believing those campaigns," he noted. The producer also reflected on his own journey while working on The Raja Saab. "I wondered why he (Prabhas) trusted me so much. I realised I need to move forward and that I hadn't come to Hyderabad to give it all up," the producer shared. At the event, SKN also spoke about his two-decade friendship with Maruthi. "Much like how a wife knows her husband best, only a friend can know a best friend's potential," he added. With SKN's passionate defence and the promising teaser, The Raja Saab has now become one of the most talked-about upcoming releases in Tollywood. Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Prabhas in a mass avatar - the kind that earned him the title of the 'rebel star'. The teaser of the film was leaked online last week following which the makers issued a statement saying that strict action would be taken against perpetrators. The Raja Saab also stars Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt.
