Sandeep Reddy Vanga, director of the upcoming action‑drama Spirit, has put an end to swirling rumors that Megastar Chiranjeevi would play a pivotal role, possibly as Prabhas’s father. In a recent interaction with the Jigris team, Vanga clarified, “Chiranjeevi is not playing Prabhas’s father or any role in the movie,” confirming that the veteran actor is not part of the cast.
Prabhas is set to portray an IPS officer in Spirit, and the film marks his first collaboration with Vanga. A Filmfare report notes that the director is finalizing Prabhas’s look, with the actor shedding weight to deliver a lean, intense performance. The movie’s audio teaser, released last month in five Indian languages, has already generated significant buzz among fans.
Casting details reveal Triptii Dimri as the female lead, making her Telugu cinema debut after Deepika Padukone exited the project due to scheduling conflicts. The ensemble also includes Vivek Oberoi and Prakash Raj in key roles, promising a power‑packed lineup for the high‑octane action drama.
Spirit is positioned as a pan‑India release slated for mid‑2026, with production updates indicating a grand theatrical rollout. The film’s blend of intense cop drama and Vanga’s signature storytelling is expected to captivate audiences across the country.
