Spirit First Look Revealed: Prabhas And Triptii Dimri’s Intense Poster Sparks Animal Comparisons
As the clock struck midnight to usher in 2026, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga treated his followers to a massive surprise: the Spirit first look poster . Featuring a battered Prabhas and a de-glam Triptii Dimri, the reveal has instantly set social media ablaze, with many drawing comparisons to the raw, unfiltered energy of Vanga’s previous blockbuster, Animal.
The timing of the announcement was no accident. Vanga has made a ritual of New Year reveals, having used the same strategy for the Ranbir Kapoor-led Animal two years ago. This first glimpse into the world of Spirit suggests that the director is once again leaning into a gritty, emotionally charged narrative.
The striking visual features a shirtless Prabhas standing with his back to the camera, showcasing a lean and mean physique. His body is covered in explicit bruises and gashes, with medical bandages wrapped across his shoulder and hands. Sporting long hair and a thick, rugged beard, the actor’s transformation is a significant departure from his previous roles.
In a moment that has sparked intense debate, Triptii Dimri is seen lighting a cigarette for Prabhas while he holds a glass of alcohol. This dynamic has led fans to speculate on the complex relationship between the two characters in this Sandeep Reddy Vanga Spirit collaboration.
Sharing the poster on social media, Prabhas wrote:
"Here's the first poster of #Spirit."
Fans React to the ‘Rebel Roar’
The internet was quick to decode the mood of the film. While some fans praised the "beast mode" transformation of the superstar, others were quick to point out the stylistic similarities to Animal.
"It's the return of the long hair! This movie looks so edgy too!" wrote one excited user on X.
Another fan noted the director’s signature style, stating: "Powerful Director And Actor Darling... 2026 began with Rebel roar."
"This is called Sandeep Reddy's film," added another, acknowledging the director’s penchant for bold storytelling.
What We Know About Spirit
Spirit is written, edited, and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and produced by T-Series in collaboration with Bhadrakali Pictures. Reports suggest that Prabhas will be portraying an ex-IPS officer who finds himself behind bars under mysterious circumstances.
The film boasts a powerful supporting cast, including Vivek Oberoi, who is expected to play a formidable antagonist, alongside veteran actors Prakash Raj and Kanchana. Following the exit of Deepika Padukone last year due to scheduling conflicts, Triptii Dimri Spirit role became one of the most talked-about casting shifts in recent Indian cinema history.
Scheduled for a grand theatrical release later in 2026, the film will be released globally in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Mandarin, and Korean.
