Prabhas’ Spirit First Look Review | The Most Awaited Collaboration

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Track Record

Sandeep Reddy Vanga has always broken the internet with the first looks of his movies, whether it be Kabir Singh, Animal, or Arjun Reddy, even though the latter is specific to the audiences of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Consistently, these movies have been massive blockbusters in terms of ROI as well as connected to the masses with just their content and not stars, excluding Animal. Animal was a film that catered more to the multiplex audience. Yet, a huge amount of its collection came from B and C centers, which is a huge achievement in the director’s book.

Prabhas’ Track Record

Prabhas has been a part of Baahubali, one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema’s history whose both part’s combined sold nearly 15 crore tickets, without counting the impact of television and online streaming, while the first one had its own impact. After the franchise, Prabhas led Saaho, Radhe Shyam, Kalki 2898 AD, Adipurush, and Salaar, out of which only Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar worked, while the rest of them did not. But the pre-release hype was always there, barring Radhe Shyam.

Even after such huge duds in recent years, Prabhas remains one of the biggest stars of the country due to his massive prominence in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as well as Hindi belt. The former has the highest number of movie theaters out of any Indian state, while the latter is the largest in volume, and there is no star that can become the favourite of both in India today, except Prabhas.

Additionally, when he uses his fanbase spread across both audiences by leading movies backed by a huge budget and massive scale, the public interest grows rapidly. The same would be seen in Prabhas upcoming movie Spirit, his 2027 release after The Raja Saab and Fauzi in 2026.

Spirit would be the first collaboration of two of the biggest box office attractions in their field, Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga. This team-up would not be an ordinary one but a violent cop drama that the director is known for. From the Sandeep Reddy Vanga movies of the past, like Animal and Kabir Singh, we know that the director leaves no stone unturned in showing his characters as unapologetic and ruthless, and the same is expected with Spirit, which features Prabhas playing a cop. 

Besides Prabhas, the Spirit cast also consists of Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj, Kanchana, and the South Korean action star Ma Dong-seok/Don Lee.

Prabhas Spirit First Look Review

As of the Prabhas Spirit first look review, it was officially released at midnight on New Year’s Day 2026. As a surprise to the fans, this first Spirit movie poster not only gave them a glimpse of Prabhas’ character in the film but also Triptii Dimri, who plays his romantic interest.

The Spirit first look has stood up to expectations, as it offers everything that you expect from a Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial, i.e., action and violence that has resulted in the injuries of Prabhas as well as a serious and heavily dramatic romance between the two leads, whose hint we get when we see Triptii Dimri lighting a recovering Prabhas’ cigarette with alcohol by his side.

These flavors are what made Animal a sensation among the youth as well as a topic of controversy in the nation. Further, these same elements being carried forward with Prabhas in the lead are expected to grow into a massive wave of hype, no matter when the film releases.

The entire trade knows that Sandeep Reddy Vanga has a good grasp on the hearts and minds of the youth, and hence he can never go wrong, which is proven by the Spirit first poster. If Prabhas’ performance even comes close to that of his own in Baahubali or Salaar, it would be better than what he has done in the previous film. Alongside that, the hype for their collaborations will ensure fireworks at the box office.

Conclusion

Even though the Spirit film cannot be judged only by its first look, it can still be trusted due to the director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s reputation for delivering engaging and top-notch content to the fans and hyping up the world with exciting pre-release assets as well as controversies.

Additionally, it can be guaranteed that the Spirit box office collection will see a huge opening just from the brand value of the superstar and the director. Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s last movie, Animal, gave Ranbir Kapoor the first Rs 100 crore opener of his career, while Prabhas is already ruling the same list with five such huge openers, giving a surety that Spirit will have one of the biggest openings ever in Indian cinema.
