Filmmaker Sandeep Vanga, known for his hit Animal, is now gearing up for his next project, Spirit, starring Rebel Star Prabhas. The film has recently gone on sets, and according to sources, Sandeep has big plans for multiple high-profile projects even after Spirit. The film is slated for a 2027 release and will be produced under the T-Series banner, following the success of Animal.

Impressed by Sandeep’s working style and confidence, T-Series reportedly signed a three-film deal with the director. Spirit is the first project under this agreement, meaning the next two films will also be produced under T-Series.

After Spirit, Sandeep’s lineup of potential stars includes Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, and Mahesh Babu. Sources suggest that either Allu Arjun or Ram Charan may collaborate with Sandeep right after Spirit, while Mahesh Babu is planning a project with him following Rajamouli’s Varanasi. With this strategic deal, T-Series ensures that Sandeep’s upcoming films remain under their banner, maximizing the chances of delivering blockbuster hits.

Sandeep Vanga’s films are known for their variety and mass appeal. His direction was evident in Arjun Reddy, and with Animal, he impressed even Bollywood producers. Spirit is expected to combine mass appeal, emotion, and stylish entertainment, with Prabhas reportedly playing a powerful police officer.

Following Spirit, major production houses are likely to line up for projects with Sandeep, as he has proven his commercial and creative prowess. While Telugu producers are interested, his current multi-film deal with T-Series ensures a focused approach, with consecutive projects already set. Alongside T-Series, Sandeep’s own banner, Bhadra Kali Pictures, will continue to function as co-producer or executive producer for his films. This shows that Sandeep is strategically positioning himself to focus heavily on Bollywood while maintaining control over his creative vision.
