Blockbuster filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga was spotted at Tirumala in Tirupati sporting a new look on Wednesday, March 6. In a video now going viral on social media, we see the hit director wearing a dark blue kurta with a pink scarf in an all bald look after offering his hair to the deity over the smash success of his latest directorial, Animal (2023), which starred Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Prem Chopra, Shakti Kapoor and Suresh Oberoi among others.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who has been seen with dense hair and a thick beard since his directorial debut Arjun Reddy (2017), informed media persons gathered at Tirumala that he visits the temple every year, but was late this time around. He further went on to reveal that his next film is Spirit with Telugu superstar Prabhas and will begin shooting for it soon. Sandeep has been on cloud nine since the release of Animal as fans continue to extend their congratulatory messages and wishes over the stupendous results of the action drama film, which raked in over 800 crores at the box office. Despite turning out to be a raging hit, the film also sparked a huge debate on toxic masculinity, violence, and misogyny on social media.
With Animal earning Sandeep Reddy Vanga a massive fan following across the country, the filmmaker will be looking to come out firing on all cylinders for his Spirit with Prabhas. The upcoming film will see the Salaar (2023) star play the role of a police officer, with an announcement poster last year getting fans quite excited. Production designer Suresh Selvarajan, who previously collaborated with Sandeep Reddy Vanga in Animal, hinted last year that Spirit will be bigger in scale than the Ranbir Kapoor film, and the wait is now on among fans to see what the team is going to come out with for them.
