All about Spirit

The movie went on the floors in November 2025. The muhurat ceremony was attended by several big names, including Chiranjeevi. Last year, in October, on Prabhas' birthday, Sandeep Reddy Vanga shared the film's audio teaser in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, revealing Prakash Raj, Vivek Oberoi and Kanchana as key cast members. Vivek will be seen essaying an antagonist role.

Earlier, Deepika Padukone was supposed to essay the female lead in the movie. However, due to scheduling conflicts, she walked out of the project, creating a heavy buzz. A few days later, Vanga announced Triptii as a new female lead. This is the first time Vanga and Prabhas have collaborated, while the director has worked with Triptii in Ranbir Kapoor's starrer Animal.

The movie, which will be available to watch in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, is scheduled to release in 2026.
