Rashmika Mandanna stands as one of India’s most sought-after and prolific actresses presently. With a string of successful films spanning various languages, including “Animal,” “Pushpa,” “Dear Comrade,” “Geetha Govindam,” and “Bheeshma,” her popularity knows no bounds.
The previous year witnessed the monumental success of “Animal,” grossing over Rs. 900 crore worldwide, where Rashmika’s portrayal earned her widespread acclaim. Presently, she is engrossed in filming the sequel to “Pushpa,” slated for release in 2024.
On another front, Indian cinema luminary Prabhas is gearing up for his next venture, a collaboration with Sandeep Reddy Vanga titled “Spirit,” produced by Bhushan Kumar under T-Series. Touted as a gritty cop-action thriller, the project was unveiled in November 2023, drawing considerable anticipation.
Amidst fervent speculation, whispers abound regarding Rashmika’s potential involvement as the female lead opposite Prabhas in “Spirit.” Positioned at the zenith of her career with a slew of high-profile projects in her repertoire, this rumored collaboration could mark a significant milestone. If substantiated, it would signify the inaugural on-screen pairing of these two talented actors. Notably, it would also denote Rashmika’s second collaboration with Sandeep Reddy Vanga following “Animal.” However, as of now, neither the production team nor the actors have confirmed this speculation.
Commencing production in September 2024, with pre-production slated for March, “Spirit” promises to be a project brimming with anticipation and intrigue, awaiting further developments to unfold.
