Sandeep Reddy Vanga's filmmaking approach with background music

The director said, “It’s easier to shoot a film when the BGM (Background Music) is playing in the set. We can easily know when to say the cut. During Kabir Singh, I understood that if the BGM is done before the commencement of the production, the shooting will be much easier. I didn’t have that privilege during Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, but for Animal, 80% of BGM was done before the shoot.

Even now, for Spirit, 70% of BGM is already ready”.He added, “I feel we can save a lot of time this way. In totality, we can save around 5 to 6 days of production. Prabhas is very transparent and very sweet to work with. Though he is a big star, he doesn’t flaunt it. We will start the shoot soon.”Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film 'Spirit,' starring Prabhas, follows his hit 'Animal' style.
