When Prabhas asked Sandeep Reddy Vanga to direct a Hollywood remake

In the interview, Sandeep revealed that during the pandemic, he was offered a film from Prabhas even before he had finished the script of Animal. As Sandeep further explains, things however did not materialize between the two. 

Speaking of the same, Sandeep said, “Prabhas asked me if I was interested in directing a Hollywood remake. I said that I don’t think a Hollywood remake is working for me, an original thought would be great on you rather than doing a remake. If at all anything great strikes me, I will come and narrate it to you.”

Further explaining the incident, Sandeep said, “The pandemic kept going on for a long time and by then I was writing Animal. Suddenly something great struck me and I called him up, met him and told him. I told him this was the title, this was the idea and this is the character. Prabhas liked the story and the same story is Spirit”.
