Spirit Audio Glimpse: Sandeep Vanga sparks a big debate online
What truly set the internet on fire was the bold tag “India’s Biggest Superstar” given to Prabhas at the end of the glimpse. Many fans agree that Prabhas has earned this title through his consistent success, breaking records, and expanding his reach across India. Producers continue to invest massive budgets in his films, showing his strong box office appeal regardless of the director.
However, the tag has sparked controversy among fans of other industries, especially Bollywood. Some fans feel that Bollywood stars have traditionally held that title, and they are not happy with a South Indian actor being called the biggest. As more South Indian stars gain Pan-India popularity, this shift is causing heated debates online.
The phrase “India’s Biggest Superstar” is now trending across social media, fueling discussions and adding to the growing buzz around Spirit. As always, Sandeep Reddy Vanga knows how to stir excitement with bold statements, and this move has given Spirit a major promotional boost.

Fans are thrilled to see Karunada Chakravarthy Shivarajkumar take on the role of Gummadi Narasaiah, one of the most honest and respected MLAs in Telugu politics. Narsaiah won five times as an independent candidate, still travels by bicycle, and continues to live in a simple hut.
While no major Telugu actor agreed to take up this project, Shivarajkumar was deeply moved by the story and decided to portray this inspiring leader.
Gummadi Narasaiah, known as the people’s man, served as an independent MLA from the Yellandu constituency multiple times between 1983 and 2009.

The difference between producer and box office website numbers is always there, but if we put these number comparisons aside, Dude is doing very well at the box office.
Pradeep Rangathan’s stardom goes big, as his last three films, Love Today, Dragon, and now Dude, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, have become his career’s biggest grossers at the box office, which even other tier 2 stars like Siva Karthikeyan, Dhanush, Karthi, and some others have not achieved.
Dude, the movie is a jackpot film for Mythri, as it was made on a very reasonable budget, and with non-theatrical rights alone, they have almost recovered the budget. With these big theatrical collections, the film emerges as one of the most profitable ventures for the Mythri group.
