The ceremony blended tradition with blockbuster buzz. Chiranjeevi, the megastar himself, graced the event as the chief guest, offering blessings, smiles, and that unmistakable on-screen aura—even off the set. The puja rituals, the ceremonial clapperboard marked “Muhurat Shot,” and the entire team gathering around in perfectly chaotic harmony made it a snapshot straight out of South Indian cinema lore. You could practically hear fans across the country refreshing their feeds for every photo.
After months of speculation, it’s officially confirmed that Triptii Dimri leads the film opposite Prabhas, stepping in after Deepika Padukone’s exit due to scheduling conflicts. Triptii’s rise has been meteoric, and pairing her with Prabhas in a gritty Vanga film? That’s the kind of casting twist the internet lives for. Add Vivek Oberoi and Prakash Raj to the mix, and you’ve got a lineup sharper than a cop drama needs—but absolutely deserves.
Backed by Bhushan Kumar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and Pranay Reddy Vanga, Spirit is being mounted on a whopping 300 crore budget. And honestly, anyone who watched Animal (919 crore worldwide) or has witnessed Prabhas’s post-Baahubali pan-India dominance knows this is not excessive—it’s expected. With early trade whispering about a potential 500 crore+ opening, the hype is already sprinting far ahead of the cameras.
Slated for a Christmas 2026 release, Spirit is shaping up to be that rare beast—a film that combines raw emotion, adrenaline, star power, and a director who thrives on bold storytelling. Today’s mahurat wasn’t just a ritual; it was the firing of the starter pistol. And from the looks of it, this cinematic marathon is going to be one thrilling ride.
