Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga eyes 2026 release for Prabhas-starrer ‘Spirit’ and 2028 release for Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal Park’ | Filmymeet

Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his blockbuster hit ‘Animal‘, is gearing up to direct two major films featuring superstars Prabhas and Ranbir Kapoor.
Following the massive success of ‘Animal’, which became one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time with its release last December, the director has now set up a timeframe for the release of its highly anticipated sequel and his much-hyped film with Prabhas, titled ‘Spirit‘.
In a report on Sacnilk.com, Vanga provided an update on his upcoming films, revealing that he has meticulously planned his next two ventures, which will keep him occupied for the next four years.First on the slate is ‘Spirit’, starring Prabhas, which has already entered the pre-production phase. Vanga initially planned to begin filming by the end of 2024 and aimed for a 2025 release. However, the filmmaker has now confirmed that production will commence early next year, with the film scheduled to hit theatres in 2026. Vanga described ‘Spirit’ as a ‘pure mass entertainer’, marking a departure from the style of his previous two films.

After wrapping up ‘Spirit’, Vanga will then begin work on the Ranbir Kapoor-led action film ‘Animal Park‘. Although no specific shooting timeline has been established, the film is expected to begin production by the end of 2026, and aim for a release in 2028.
Both ‘Spirit’ and ‘Animal Park’ are poised to ignite the box office upon their release.
