As per the report, Spirit is supposed to be one of the most awaited and ambitious projects in Indian cinema and the team has gone all out to cast the best actors.

In addition, the reports suggest that Spirit is going to be a one-of-its-kind cop-based action thriller and in fact, it is also being said that this is Vanga's attempt to change the outlook towards cop-based films. The source reportedly said, "It’s a story like never before, in the template of a commercial Indian Film. There are good people and bad people in the tale, but with a lot of elements of grey that Vanga is known for. Every character has a purpose, and it’s among the most ambitious films for Sandeep Reddy Vanga."
