As the new year began, Bollywood and South Indian cinema fans received a major surprise. The first look poster of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's highly anticipated film 'Spirit' has been released, showcasing the intense chemistry between superstar Prabhas and Tripti Dimri. The makers released the poster precisely at midnight amidst the New Year celebrations, a strategy reminiscent of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's previous film 'Animal'.
Sharing the poster on social media platforms, the film's makers captioned it, "Welcome the New Year with the first poster full of #Spirit." The poster instantly created a buzz on social media, and Prabhas's raw and intense avatar has significantly increased audience anticipation.

What does the poster look like?
In the poster, Prabhas is seen with long hair, a thick beard and mustache, sporting a very serious look. He appears shirtless, with his back to the camera, and deep wounds, injury marks, and bandages are clearly visible on his body. This look clearly indicates that his character in the film has gone through violence, conflict, and inner turmoil. He has a cigarette in his mouth and a glass of alcohol in his hand, which further adds depth to the character's mental state.

Prabhas and Tripti Dimri's chemistry
Standing very close to Prabhas is Tripti Dimri, in a simple avatar. She is wearing a light-colored saree. With a calm expression, she is seen lighting Prabhas's cigarette. This small moment hints at a deep, complex, and mysterious relationship between the two characters. The background shows an indoor space with natural light coming through a window, and the city skyline is faintly visible.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga adopts the 'Animal' strategy.
The poster hints at a new, unseen cinematic experience for the audience. Interestingly, the first look of 'Spirit' was released at midnight on New Year's Day, just like the announcement of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's previous film, 'Animal'.

Fans' Reactions Were Overwhelming
Fans' reactions on social media were overwhelming. Some called it the "best New Year's gift for fans," while others wrote, "The king is wounded, but his swag remains." Many users believe that if the poster is so powerful, then both the teaser and the film will prove to be record-breaking.

Tripti Replaces Deepika, and Prabhas's New Avatar
Besides Prabhas and Tripti Dimri, Vivek Oberoi, Kanchana, and Prakash Raj will also be seen in important roles in the film 'Spirit'. According to reports, Prabhas is playing the role of a police officer in the film, while Tripti will play his girlfriend. This role was initially offered to Deepika Padukone, but she reportedly opted out of the project due to disagreements over working hours.

Film to be Released in 5 Indian and 3 International Languages
The producers of the film are Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishna Kumar, and Prabhakar Reddy Vanga. The film is planned to be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, as well as international languages ​​like Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. Last year, on Prabhas's 46th birthday, Sandeep Reddy Vanga released the film's audio teaser in 5 Indian languages. 'Spirit' is scheduled for release in 2026. After the success of 'Animal', this film by Sandeep Vanga is expected to be a blend of high-octane action and emotional drama.
