Prabhas Unleashes a Brutal New Persona in First Look from Spirit

Rebel Star Prabhas has revealed one of the most intense and transformative looks of his career with the first poster of Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Released as a New Year 2026 surprise, the poster has ignited massive buzz across social media, immediately positioning the film as a dark and emotionally charged cinematic experience.

Sharing the poster, Sandeep Reddy Vanga wrote, “INDIAN CINEMA… witness your AJANUBAHUDU / AJANUBAHU,” giving fans a powerful name for Prabhas’ character. Known for his uncompromising storytelling, Vanga once again signals a film driven by raw emotion, violence, and moral complexity.

The poster shows Prabhas from behind, his bare, muscular body covered in scars, bruises, and bandages—silent markers of a life shaped by brutality and survival. His long hair and rugged beard enhance the ferocity of the look, while his posture conveys exhaustion, suppressed rage, and inner conflict. A liquor bottle clutched in his hand adds another layer of emotional chaos, hinting at a deeply broken psyche.

Adding to the intensity is Tripti Dimri, seen lighting his cigarette in a moment that feels intimate yet unsettling. The visual suggests a relationship rooted in vulnerability, tension, and shared darkness, offering a glimpse into the film’s emotional core without revealing its narrative.

Titled Spirit, the film appears to explore themes of violence, strength, and psychological turmoil. Though still in early production, it has already emerged as one of the most anticipated Indian films. Prabhas has expressed his excitement about collaborating with Vanga, further heightening expectations. With this striking first look, Spirit promises to be bold, provocative, and unforgettable.
