Sandeep Reddy Vanga has declared that his upcoming film Varanasi is bigger than his much-anticipated Spirit. The director made the remark at the trailer launch event for Prabhas's Romanchakam, where he was asked whether the 37-day gap between the two releases would be enough.
"It will be sufficient," Vanga said. "There are around 37 days gap. Also, that film (Varanasi) is bigger than Spirit." He joked with a journalist who pressed the question, saying the media wanted Spirit to make way for Varanasi.
Spirit is scheduled for a March 2027 release, while SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu's film arrives in April 2027.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Vanga's claim pits his project against one of the biggest commercial films in Indian cinema. The director's track record with violent, character-driven blockbusters gives weight to his confidence, but the box office maths will be decided by audience response and release windows. Spirit faces SS Rajamouli's Mahesh Babu film just weeks later, a clash that could split premium screen counts. The real test will be whether Varanasi opens to a weekend collection north of Rs 100 crore, a benchmark Spirit is expected to target. The industry will watch April 2027 for the actual numbers.
