If filmmaking were a wrestling ring, Sandeep Reddy Vanga would be the guy walking in with quiet confidence and two punches ready, one for Prabhas, the other for Mahesh Babu. The man who shook up cinema with Arjun Reddy and Animal is now busy balancing two heavyweight projects. These days, when Sandeep says he’s got a story, top stars don’t think twice, they just line up to hear it.
Right now, all eyes are on Spirit, his film with Prabhas. On Prabhas’ birthday, fans got a small audio tease, just enough to stir up curiosity. Word is, the script has been locked for a while, and Sandeep’s longing to take it to sets. If the buzz is true, the shoot might roll in November and wrap up in about 100 days. Knowing Sandeep, that sounds about right, he’s one of those directors who doesn’t waste time once the camera starts rolling.
And while that’s happening, the guy’s already cooking up something for Mahesh Babu. Apparently, the idea has been floating since Arjun Reddy days, but it never took off then. Now, with Mahesh finishing his film with SS Rajamouli, the timing looks better. Sources say Sandeep is quietly fine-tuning a script that fits Mahesh’s image but still carries his signature madness. He’s basically setting the table before the guest arrives.
Sandeep’s plan sounds simple, finish Spirit, have Mahesh’s film ready, and keep the streak going. No long breaks, no cooling off. Industry talk is that a key meeting between Mahesh and Sandeep will happen soon, and once that’s done, announcements might follow.
