New Year Surprise: Spirit Poster Unveiled
As the clock struck midnight to ring in the New Year, fans of Sandeep Reddy Vanga were treated to a thrilling surprise. The makers of Spirit unveiled the film’s first look poster, featuring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri in strikingly contrasting avatars. The timing echoes Vanga’s earlier release strategy with Animal, which also debuted its first poster at midnight on New Year’s. The official post carried the caption: “Let’s welcome the New Year with the first poster high on #Spirit.”
A Glimpse Into the Film’s Mood
The newly released poster offers a raw and intense first impression of the film. Prabhas appears with long hair, a thick beard, and a moustache, standing shirtless with his back to the camera. His body is marked with bruises and bandages, hinting at a life forged in conflict and violence. He dons loose white trousers, holding a cigarette between his lips and a glass of alcohol in one hand, exuding rugged charm.
Beside him stands Triptii Dimri, dressed in a simple, muted-toned saree. She is seen lighting his cigarette with a composed and focused expression, suggesting a quiet yet charged moment between their characters. The indoor setting, with soft natural light filtering through a window and the faint city skyline in the background, adds depth to the intense atmosphere.
The makers’ tweet accompanying the poster read: “You loved what existed before. Now fall in love with what you never knew existed.”
Fan Reactions
Social media was abuzz following the release of the poster. Fans expressed their excitement and admiration in large numbers. Comments ranged from “Best gift for fans” to “The King is bleeding, but the swagger is untouched. This look is absolute carnage. If this is just the poster, the teaser is going to melt servers. #Spirit is going to be a monster.”
Cast and Crew Insights
Apart from Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, the film features Vivek Oberoi, Kanchana, and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles. Reports suggest that Prabhas will portray a cop, while Triptii will play his love interest. Initially, Deepika Padukone was considered for the role, but scheduling conflicts with director Vanga led to Triptii being finalized.
The film is written, edited, and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishan Kumar, and Prabhakar Reddy Vanga. It is slated for a multilingual release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean.
