Inside Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s personal life: wife Manisha Reddy and son Arjun Reddy

Sandeep Reddy Vanga personal life details

Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director, who is well-known for his work on films like Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, and Animal, has frequently courted controversy. Critics have called him a misogynist and accused him of depicting women negatively.

Few people are aware of his personal life, especially regarding his spouse, despite all the headlines. Here's a peek at his romantic history.

Sandeep is married to Manisha Reddy. The couple tied the knot in 2014 and share two children—a son named Arjun Reddy, after the director’s breakout film, and a daughter born in 2020.

Despite his fame, details about Manisha remain scarce, as she prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Her Instagram profile is private, and only her husband follows her account.

Sandeep rarely talks about his wife in interviews and maintains a clear separation between his personal and public lives. However, he disclosed Manisha's response to the gripping Ranbir Kapoor film Animal following its 2023 release.

She thought there was too much bloodshed in the film, which made her honest assessment of his work stand out.

In other interviews, Sandeep has credited Manisha and his family for being a constant source of support, especially during the early struggles of his career, including financial difficulties faced during the making of his debut film. The decision to name his son after Arjun Reddy is a touching nod to the film that changed his life.

The director is currently working on Spirit, his next big project. Prabhas and Triptii Dimri play the main roles in the movie. At first, Vanga did not approve of Deepika Padukone's demands for eight-hour workdays, a large salary, and a cut of the profits, which led to her dismissal earlier this month.

Filming is anticipated to start in October of this year, and Spirit is currently in the last stages of scripting. Although the plot is still unknown, insiders say Vanga is working on a fast-paced action drama. He painstakingly worked on the script for six months in an effort to produce a genuinely inventive film.

Prabhas is said to be undergoing a significant physical transformation for the role, with Sandeep Reddy Vanga advising him to maintain a lean physique to portray a cop convincingly.

If all goes according to plan, this collaboration, produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, is set to release in 2027, promising yet another gripping cinematic experience from the director.
