Sandeep Reddy Vanga Sets Music-First Plan for Prabhas’ Spirit, Promises Sub-3-Hour Runtime

Filming remains in pre-production as the team waits for Prabhas’s dates.

Overview

  • Sandeep Reddy Vanga says about 70% of Spirit’s background score is complete before shooting, a workflow he used on Animal to shape pacing on set.
  • He estimates the music-first approach will trim roughly five to six days from production by letting crews time shots and edits to pre-set cues.
  • The director committed to keeping Spirit’s runtime under three hours, contrasting with Animal’s lengthier cut.
  • Composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar is collaborating on the pre-recorded score after partnering with Vanga on Animal.
  • Prabhas leads the pan-India cop action drama with Triptii Dimri as the female lead, with plot details of a syndicate takedown reported by outlets and casting rumors like Don Lee remaining unconfirmed.
