“Truth started getting labelled as propaganda”: Sandeep Reddy Vanga DEFENDS Dhurandhar duology; Aditya Dhar REACTS! Months after the release of Dhurandhar in December 2025 and its sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge, on March 19, 2026, the Aditya Dhar-directed duology continues to remain part of industry conversations. The latest filmmaker to weigh in on the debate surrounding the films is Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who strongly reacted to those labelling the project as propaganda. Vanga recently attended a screening of Dhurandhar: The Revenge at Allu Arjun’s theatre in Hyderabad, along with Prabhas, who is set to headline his upcoming directorial, Spirit. After watching the film, the filmmaker took to X to share his thoughts and defend the makers. In his post, Vanga wrote, “Writers & actors built careers on propaganda, and the industry stayed quiet like cats. Now the same clan mock Dhurandhar. You don’t get to call yourself liberal if your first instinct is to Mock.

Did Prakash Raj’s political outspokenness cost him Spirit? Is he in? Is he out? Finally, the intrepid Prakash Raj is not doing Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit. Once and for all, Prakash Raj is out of Vanga’s film. And the reason for it is his political outspokenness. According to a source close to the project, Prakash refused to be gagged. “He was asked to not make political comments during the making of Spirit. Prakash Raj refused to make any such commitment,” said the source. For those who came in late, Prakash Raj is well known for his fiercely independent views on socio-political issues such as his recent post on beef-eating. As far as the film is concerned, Spirit stars Prabhas in the lead and it stars Triptii Dimri opposite him. The first poster of the film, featuring both the stars, was released on January 1 as a New Year gift for Prabhas’ fans. It quickly became a talking point.
