Recently, Sandeep Reddy Vanga shared some insights about the film during a chat featured in a video by People Media Factory on YouTube.

Talking about the reaction to the first poster, he explained how fans had been reading into every detail. “That’s a 1 litre bottle, it is looking like a glass in his hand. People also thought that another glass is placed on the railing, and both husband and wife are drinking in the poster,” he said.

The video also featured Prabhas, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar. During the discussion, Sandeep Reddy Vanga hinted that Prabhas and Triptii Dimri’s characters are married in the film, teasing an emotional layer to the story.

Prabhas was clearly impressed with the creative vision. Asking about the poster, he said, “The idea of the poster is crazy. How did you get that idea?” Sandeep Reddy Vanga explained, “That is cut from a scene of the film, and I thought how should I present him after Baahubali? It has to be something so, yeah.” Praising the approach, Prabhas added, “It is my best poster till now. No doubt. It is a cult poster.”

Released on 1 January, the first poster gave fans a raw, edgy glimpse of Prabhas in a rugged new avatar. Sporting long hair, a thick beard and moustache, he stands shirtless with his back to the camera, his body marked with bruises and bandages across his shoulder, arm and back.

Triptii Dimri adds to the mood, holding a glass of alcohol and lighting a cigarette, hinting at the film’s gritty tone.

Alongside the lead pair, Spirit also stars Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj and Kanchana in key roles. With its bold visuals, intense performances and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s signature storytelling, Spirit is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about films of 2027.
