13 Jan, 2026

The excitement in the film industry is buzzing as Sandeep Reddy Vanga unveiled the first look of his highly anticipated film, Spirit, featuring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri. Released at the stroke of midnight, the poster has caught the attention of fans and celebrities alike. In a striking visual, a shirtless Prabhas stands with his back to the camera, holding a liquor bottle, while Triptii, draped in a simple saree, lights his cigarette. This intriguing snapshot hints at the film’s narrative, igniting curiosity among viewers.

Adding to the buzz, Triptii's rumored boyfriend, Sam Merchant, shared the poster on social media, expressing his approval with heart-eyed emojis. This gesture has warmed the hearts of fans, who are already pouring in love for the couple. Triptii also re-shared Sam's post, adding her own touch of affection with heart emojis. The engagement from both of them only amplifies the excitement surrounding the film's release.

Notably, other Bollywood stars have also joined the conversation. Katrina Kaif and Kiara Advani, who previously collaborated with Sandeep on the Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy titled Kabir Singh, have also liked the posts. Their support showcases the interconnectedness within the industry, as fans eagerly anticipate the launch of Spirit. Additionally, actors like Tamannaah Bhatia and Janhvi Kapoor have reacted positively, further solidifying the film's popularity.

Spirit marks Sandeep’s next project after the polarizing film Animal, which starred Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol. Known for tackling controversial themes such as toxic masculinity, misogyny, and violence in cinema, Sandeep appears to continue his bold storytelling style with Spirit. The film's official social media handle released a captivating tagline, stating, “You loved what existed before. Now fall in love with what you never knew existed,” hinting at an exciting narrative twist.

With a talented cast including Prabhas, Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi, Kanchana, and Prakash Raj, Spirit is produced by T-Series Films and Bhadrakali Pictures Production. As anticipation builds, fans are eager to see how this film unfolds, especially given Sandeep’s reputation for pushing boundaries in Indian cinema.
