[edit]Development
[edit]Spirit was officially announced in 2021, marking the first collaboration between director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and actor Prabhas. The director took to X, with a title poster, along with it, Sandeep also wrote, "The Mighty man marching on…"[8]. Prior to this project, Vanga had been offered the opportunity to direct a Hollywood remake featuring Prabhas but chose to turn it down in favor of developing an original concept. He approached Prabhas with the idea for Spirit, a cop-based action film.[9]
Vanga aims to create his most universal film to date with Spirit, describing it as a "Pakka Commercial Entertainer" designed to appeal to a wide range of audiences. The film blends action and entertainment with emotional depth, catering to moviegoers across the country. The decision to make a traditional commercial film with Prabhas was for him to return to a more straightforward commercial role. This led Vanga to reimagine the cop genre, incorporating heroic elements tailored to Prabhas' strengths. With Spirit, Vanga is venturing into the action space, embracing the challenge of writing action-packed scenes and shaping Prabhas’ character.[10][11]
