Sandeep Reddy Vanga has dismissed Spirit delay rumours, revealing that 50 days of filming are complete and another 65 days remain.
Spirit Release Date Remains March 5, 2027
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has delivered a major update on Spirit, his highly anticipated film starring Prabhas. Responding to recent speculation about a possible postponement, the filmmaker said production is moving according to plan and indicated that the announced release schedule remains unchanged.
Spirit is currently scheduled to arrive in theatres on March 5, 2027. Reports of a delay had created concern among Prabhas fans, particularly because the actor is balancing multiple large-scale projects. Vanga’s clarification, however, suggests that the team remains confident about completing the film within its planned timeline.
Expectations surrounding the project have remained high since its announcement. Spirit brings Prabhas together with Vanga, whose previous directorial ventures include Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh and Animal. The combination has generated strong interest across regional and national markets.
Although the director’s update offers reassurance, the release will depend on the completion of filming and post-production as scheduled. For now, the team continues to work toward the previously announced March 2027 theatrical date.
Spirit Shooting Completes Around 50 Days
Sharing details about the production, Sandeep Reddy Vanga revealed that approximately 50 days of shooting have already been completed. The team reportedly needs another 65 days to finish the remaining portions, taking the estimated total filming schedule to around 115 days.
The update gives audiences a clearer picture of the movie’s current status. While a substantial part of the production has been completed, several important sequences still need to be filmed before the project enters its final post-production phase.
Vanga believes the remaining work can be completed within five months. This production plan appears to provide enough time for editing, sound design, background scoring, colour grading and other technical processes ahead of the scheduled release.
The filmmaker’s confidence also indicates that the production team has structured its remaining schedules carefully. Completing the pending 65 days without major interruptions will be crucial to keeping Spirit on course for its March 5 arrival.
Spirit Schedule Depends on Prabhas Completing Fauzi
Prabhas is currently working on Fauzi, another major film in his lineup. He is expected to return to the Spirit sets after finishing his required portions for that project. His availability will therefore play an important role in determining the pace of the next filming schedule.
Managing two large productions can create scheduling challenges, but Vanga’s statement suggests that the team has already accounted for the actor’s commitments. Once Prabhas rejoins Spirit, the makers are expected to proceed with the remaining scenes over a concentrated period.
Both Spirit and Fauzi are viewed as important projects in Prabhas’ upcoming slate. The actor continues to work across ambitious films designed for audiences in multiple languages, increasing interest in their production updates and release plans.
Details about Spirit’s wider cast, story and promotional campaign are still being revealed gradually. However, the combination of Prabhas’ screen presence and Vanga’s intense filmmaking style remains the project’s strongest attraction.
Spirit Limited CGI Plan Could Help Avoid Delays
Another factor supporting the current timeline is Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s plan to use computer-generated imagery in a limited manner. Compared with effects-heavy productions, a controlled requirement for CGI could reduce the time needed for post-production.
The approach may allow the team to focus more on performances, practical filmmaking and the film’s dramatic presentation. It could also help editors and visual-effects departments complete their work within the available months after principal photography ends.
Vanga’s update has brought relief to fans worried about a postponement. With 50 days of filming finished, 65 days remaining and a five-month completion plan in place, Spirit currently appears to be progressing toward its announced release.
The next significant update may arrive when Prabhas returns to the set or when the team completes principal photography. Until the producers announce any change, Spirit remains scheduled to release in theatres on March 5, 2027.
