These Two Star Sons Take Key Roles In Prabhas' Spirit

Some stories don’t start under bright lights, they begin quietly, behind the camera, where passion meets patience. Prabhas’ upcoming film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is already stirring up chaos online after that fiery audio teaser dropped on the actor’s birthday. One line, “Since childhood, I have a bad habit”, was enough to send fans into a frenzy. But beyond the hype and hero worship, there’s a softer, interesting twist, two star kids joining the crew, not as actors, but as assistant directors.

The team confirmed that the Top director of Tollywood, Trivikram Srinivas’s son, Rishie Manoj, and Mass hero Ravi Teja’s son, Mahadhan Bhupathiraju, are working as assistant directors on Spirit. That’s a pretty cool way to start in cinema, no red carpets, no spotlights, just long hours, creative chaos, and learning the grind up close from one of the most intense filmmakers out there. With Sandeep Vanga at the helm, both are walking into a world where every scene demands emotion, energy, and madness, and that’s exactly where you grow the fastest.

Fans actually love this move. Instead of making some fancy debut as actors, these two have chosen the behind-the-scenes path, something that earns quiet respect. They’re learning the real art of storytelling from scratch, the kind that happens when you see a director shaping a scene, or when a line of dialogue changes everything. It’s a bold way to begin, humble, grounded, and smart.

Spirit is still in pre-production, with Triptii Dimri, Prakash Raj, Vivek Oberoi, and Kanchana on board. The film’s being produced by Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishan Kumar, and Prabhakar Reddy Vanga, with Harshavardhan Rameshwar composing the music. With all eyes on Prabhas and Vanga’s combo, this project already feels big. But it’s also turning into something more, a launchpad for the next generation learning to tell stories the hard, honest way.
