Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga went suggesting an airport name. He walked away with a marketing beat for his next film, Spirit. On Friday, Vanga tweeted his excitement over Warangal, his hometown, finally getting its own international airport. He suggested two names, Rudrama International Airport and Kakatiya International Airport, both nods to the region’s dynastic history. He thanked Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for pushing the project forward. The CM’s reply was three words: “That’s the SPIRIT..!!”
Sir…. I have written exactly the same line “That’s the Spirit” in my film SPIRIT. ❤️
So… coming from you Sir, I was genuinely surprised and honestly very excited because it’s literally the same line from my film 😊
Some words really just hit differently when they come from… https://t.co/gwbJMIOOJK— Sandeep Reddy Vanga (@imvangasandeep) September 19, 2026
An unexpected update
The phrase was, as Vanga pointed out, a line lifted straight from his upcoming film. The Kabir Singh maker responded in no time, calling the coincidence surprising and telling the CM that the phrase hit differently coming from him.
Within minutes, the exchange between the Animal maker and the CM was being treated less as political small talk and more as an accidental teaser drop. A phrase nobody would call catchy on paper had, apparently, been engineered by Vanga to work as one. That’s the pattern with him. Vanga doesn’t reach for elaborate dialogue. He takes something flat and turns it into a punchy line.
Tailored for Prabhas’ image
Spirit carries outsized expectations already, teaming Sandeep Vanga with Prabhas for the first time. The Baahubali star has built a career on saying less. His characters tend to let silence and grittiness do the talking (especially in films like Salaar), then drop one line that carries the whole scene. A phrase as plain as “That’s the spirit” fits that mold almost too well.
Prabhas’ fans have been eagerly waiting for an update on Spirit. For now, they are happy about the unexpected manner in which Vanga dropped one. The film features raw, gritty action blocks choreographed by international stunt experts, highlighted by a major face-off sequence with antagonist Vivek Oberoi. Spirit, co-starring Tripti Dimri and Vivek Oberoi, will grace the big screens on 5 March 2027. But that looks highly unlikely given that Fauzi release has been postponed.
