Producer Pranay Reddy Vanga Challenges Critics Ahead of Film Spirit Release
Pranay Reddy Vanga, producer and brother of filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, challenged film critics following the lukewarm reception of his recent production, Romanchakam.

Pranay expressed confidence in the upcoming film Spirit, directed by his brother and starring Prabhas, inviting critics to assess it upon release. Romanchakam, directed by Venu Gopal Reddy, received mixed reviews and modest box office returns.
