In a surprising turn of events, the sons of two prominent figures in the Telugu film industry, Trivikram Srinivas and Ravi Teja, are reportedly joining the team of the upcoming Prabhas starrer, "Spirit". This Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial is already generating significant buzz, and the addition of these young talents has further amplified the anticipation.
According to official updates, Rishie Manoj, son of the acclaimed writer and director Trivikram Srinivas, and Mahadhan Bhupathiraju, son of popular actor Ravi Teja, will be working as assistant directors on "Spirit". The news, which initially circulated as a rumor, has now been confirmed by the makers of the film. This marks a significant opportunity for both star kids to gain firsthand experience in filmmaking under the guidance of Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
The reports of Mahadhan being involved in "Spirit" initially surfaced a few months ago but faded due to lack of confirmation. However, the recent announcement has reignited the buzz surrounding his participation. It's worth noting that Mahadhan has previously appeared as a child actor in his father's film "Raja The Great" (2017). Meanwhile, Rishie Manoj is not entirely new to the world of cinema; he has experience acting in and directing a short film called "Nisaacharudu" and has also worked as an associate editor for another short film, "Stagnation".
"Spirit" is currently in pre-production and boasts an impressive cast, including Prabhas as the lead and Tripti Dimri as the female lead. Veteran actors Prakash Raj and Vivek Oberoi, along with Kanchana and others, are also part of the ensemble. The film is being produced by Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishan Kumar, and Prabhakar Reddy Vanga, with Harshavardhan Rameshwar composing the music.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, fresh off the massive success of "Animal," is directing "Spirit" on a grand scale. The film is being produced by Bhadrakali Pictures in partnership with T-Series and is expected to launch in September 2025.
The inclusion of Rishie Manoj and Mahadhan Bhupathiraju in the direction team is seen as a valuable opportunity for the youngsters to hone their filmmaking skills. Ravi Teja himself started his career as an assistant director, working on films like "Ninne Pelladatha" (1996) before becoming a successful actor. This background adds another layer of significance to his son's involvement in "Spirit."
Fans are eager to see how these young talents contribute to the project and are hopeful that they will evolve into successful filmmakers in the future. The official confirmation of their involvement has generated considerable excitement among fans and industry insiders alike.
