Prabhas is honouring his commitment to director Sandeep Reddy Vanga by performing all action stunts without a body double in the upcoming film Spirit. Sources say the actor agreed to this condition after hearing the script, and no body double has been used so far. The decision was influenced by feedback on his use of a body double in a previous film, Raja Saab.
About 40 percent of Spirit's shoot is complete. Prabhas will resume filming after finishing his current project, Fauzi. While rumours suggest the March 2027 release may be delayed, an official announcement on the new date is expected only after shooting ends. The film is produced by Pranay Reddy and T Series.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The body-double debate has trailed Prabhas since the release of his recent films, where action sequences drew criticism for obvious stunt doubles. With Sandeep Reddy Vanga known for pushing actors to extremes, Spirit now tests whether Prabhas can deliver the raw physicality Vanga's films demand. The director's previous work, like Kabir Singh and Arjun Reddy, relied heavily on intense, unfiltered performances. If Prabhas sustains this commitment through the remaining 60 percent of the shoot, Spirit could redefine the action-hero standard in Telugu cinema. The official release date, once announced, will confirm whether the film keeps its March 2027 slot.
