Prabhas, known for his dedication to physically demanding roles, has reaffirmed his commitment on the sets of 'Spirit', the action film directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. After hearing the script, Prabhas was reportedly impressed by Vanga's vision and agreed to several conditions set by the director, one of which was to perform all action sequences without the use of a body double.
'Spirit', produced by Pranay Reddy and T Series, is shaping up as a high-octane action saga. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who has a reputation for pushing his actors, specifically requested that Prabhas handle every stunt himself. So far, sources confirm that no body double has been used for the film, with Prabhas carrying out each physically intense scene as promised.
Feedback from Prabhas's previous film 'Raja Saab' regarding the use of a body double was widely discussed on social media, with several videos circulating online. This feedback reportedly reached Prabhas, influencing his decision to fully commit to Vanga's requirements for 'Spirit'.
Currently, 40 percent of the film's shoot is complete. Prabhas is expected to resume work on 'Spirit' after finishing his ongoing project, 'Fauzi'. There is speculation that the release of 'Spirit', initially aimed for March 2027, may be postponed, with a new release date to be announced once filming wraps up.
