Sandeep Reddy Vanga is trying something new, and honestly, it’s a vibe shift we didn’t see coming. The man behind Kabir Singh and Animal is now stepping into the producer’s chair with a Telugu musical romantic comedy called Romanchakam. This is his first project as a presenter, produced under his own banner Bhadrakali Pictures.
But here’s the twist: Vanga won’t be directing this one. Instead, he’s handing the reins to Venu Gopal Reddy, a newcomer who learned the ropes under Ram Gopal Varma. The cast is packed with fresh faces from Telugu cinema, with Sumanth Prabhas leading the pack. He made waves in the web series Memu Famous, while Ananthika Sanilkumar, last seen in 8 Vasantalu, plays the female lead.
A Lighter Touch From The King Of Chaos
Vanga took to social media to announce the film, and he couldn’t stop gushing about the script. “I had a heartfelt laugh throughout the narration. Beneath all the fun, there’s a strong emotional tact, and for the first time, I’m presenting the film,” he shared. For someone known for gritty, intense stories like Arjun Reddy, this feels like a deliberate move to stretch his creative muscles in a different direction.
Speaking about Romanchakam, Vanga said the narration had him in splits, but the story carries real emotional weight. “Glad to announce that BHADRAKALI PICTURES is coming out with a very unique musical romantic comedy,” he added. The rest of the crew and other details are still under wraps, and no release date has been announced yet.
Spirit Still On The Horizon
Even with Romanchakam getting started, Vanga’s main focus remains Spirit, his next directorial venture. That one’s an action drama starring Prabhas, Triptii Dimri, Prakash Raj, and Vivek Oberoi. Vanga is writing, editing, and directing, with producers Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishan Kumar, and Prabhakar Reddy Vanga on board.
The mahurat ceremony happened in November 2025, with Megastar Chiranjeevi as the chief guest. Filming kicked off late last year and production is set to speed up from September this year. They’re aiming for a March 5, 2027 theatrical release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and other languages. After the massive success of Animal and Kabir Singh, the bar is sky-high. Fans across North and South India are buzzing, especially with Prabhas teaming up with Vanga — everyone’s curious to see how he tackles a cop-led action universe.
Why Romanchakam Matters
Romanchakam gives Vanga a chance to support new voices and try a lighter style. It helps Bhadrakali Pictures step outside his usual intense territory. Musical, romantic, and funny, but still full of heart — if you go by his words. This could be the beginning of a new chapter for the filmmaker, one where he nurtures fresh talent and explores genres he’s never touched before.
Expect more news about the cast, music, and production schedule over the next few months. For now, Vanga is proving that even the most intense storytellers can have a soft, funny side. And honestly, we’re here for it.
