Sandeep Reddy Vanga Confirms Spirit's A Certificate and Addresses Varanasi Release Clash
Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga confirmed that his upcoming film Spirit, starring Prabhas as a police officer, will receive an A certificate due to its violent and intense content. Scheduled for release on March 5, 2027, Spirit will arrive about 37 days before SS Rajamouli's Varanasi, set for April 7, 2027. Vanga expressed confidence that the gap is sufficient and acknowledged Varanasi as a bigger film. The remarks were made during the trailer launch of Romanchakam, produced by Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures.
