Prabhas-Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit' gets whopping ₹500cr budget!
Prabhas, who has been basking in the success of his recent release Kalki 2898 AD, is all set for his next project titled Spirit. The action entertainer, which will see Prabhas donning the role of a cop for the first time, is being directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. According to media reports, the film's budget is pegged at a whopping ₹500 crore.
High-budget films are in demand
Reportedly, the makers are willing to invest a large sum in the film due to the growing demand for high-budget movies that offer a visual spectacle. Films like Vanga's Animal and Prabhas's Kalki 2898 AD have set a precedent for this trend. T-Series's Bhushan Kumar, who is bankrolling Spirit, believes that Prabhas's box office appeal justifies the hefty budget.
Prabhas's box office success gives producers confidence
Prabhas's films have consistently performed well at the box office, often grossing over ₹100 crore on their opening day. This track record gives producers the confidence to allocate large budgets for his projects, anticipating high returns. With Spirit, the team is aiming to deliver a visual spectacle that matches the scale of its budget.
'Spirit' to feature high-octane action sequences
In Spirit, Prabhas will be seen as a cop for the first time. The film is touted to be an action entertainer with high-octane sequences. Director Vanga is reportedly leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the action episodes in the film are top-notch. Moreover, the rumor mill is rife that Kareena Kapoor Khan may join the project as the female lead, though there's no confirmation yet.
