Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit sound story impresses fans
The makers unveiled the Spirit sound story on Prabhas’ birthday, treating fans to a unique concept video that uses only voiceovers and background music instead of visuals. The video features voices of the cast and is complemented by a gripping score from Harshavardhan Rameshwar.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga shared the announcement on Instagram, writing, “Happy Birthday Prabhas anna. Presenting a ‘SOUND-STORY’ in five Indian languages straight from the heart, for every fan who’s felt his (fire emoji)”
The sound story introduces Prabhas as a former IPS officer and academy topper who ends up in prison under the supervision of Prakash Raj’s character. His arrest, caused by conduct-related issues, leads to a powerful clash with a strict warden who follows his own rules.
Towards the end of the video, Prabhas delivers a striking line: “I have had just one bad habit since childhood.” This line has already become a fan favorite and reflects Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s signature storytelling style that combines intensity and emotional depth.
Spirit marks the first collaboration between Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is known for films like Kabir Singh and Animal. The film also stars Triptii Dimri as the female lead, alongside Prakash Raj, Vivek Oberoi, and veteran actress Kanchana in key roles.
