About Spirit

The film’s first look was unveiled at midnight on January 1, 2026, as part of a New Year’s Day reveal that sparked an immediate wave of reactions online. The poster showcased Prabhas in a gritty avatar, with long hair, visible bruises, and an intense presence. Triptii Dimri was seen standing beside, lighting his cigarette, delivering a raw visual tone that set audience expectations high right at the start of the year.

Spirit marks the first collaboration between Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, whose last directorial was the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal. To celebrate Prabhas' birthday last year in October, Vanga had treated fans with the first 'sound story' from Spirit. In the one-minute audio teaser, a jailer and his assistant talk about an ex-cop in remand. The jailer gives instructions on how to treat him. His assistant asks him to maintain decorum. The jailer instructs his assistant to strip off the prisoner, search him and send for tests.

Next, Prabhas's voice says, "Sir, since childhood, I have one bad habit." As the jailer shouts at him, he repeats, "Right from childhood, I have one bad habit." The teaser ends with Prabhas' line. Apart from Prabhas and Triptii, the film will also star Kanchana, Prakash Raj and Vivek Oberoi in pivotal roles. Prabhas will essay the role of a cop while Triptii will play his love interest in the film. Triptii replaced actor Deepika Padukone in the film.

In February, there were rumours that Prakash Raj walked out of the project due to creative differences with the film’s team. The actor dismissed them and said that his shoot had not even begun.
