The first look of Vivek Oberoi in the upcoming pan-India action thriller Spirit has officially dropped, giving fans a glimpse of him as a suave, intense antagonist in a signature purple robe, smoking, exuding menace. The film also introduces debutant Aishwarya Desai in a significant role, setting the stage for what promises to be a high-octane cinematic showdown.
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his blockbuster hits Kabir Singh and Animal, Spirit reunites him with producer Bhushan Kumar in a high-stakes collaboration. The film is headlined by Prabhas, alongside Tripti Dimri as the female lead. The project also brings in Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishan Kumar, and Prabhakar Reddy Vanga as producers, forming a powerhouse production team.
Set for a worldwide theatrical release on March 5, 2027, Spirit is already generating buzz across social media platforms. The announcement poster, especially Oberoi’s striking first look, has attracted thousands of reactions in hours, with fans praising his menacing aura and eagerly anticipating the chemistry between him and Prabhas.
Following the box office success of Animal (2023), which grossed over ₹900 crore worldwide, expectations are sky-high for Spirit. Observers predict the Prabhas-Vanga reunion could replicate, if not surpass, that commercial triumph, delivering a multilingual cop-action spectacle designed to appeal to audiences across India and beyond.
The film’s tagline, One Bad Habit, hints at a gripping narrative of crime, revenge, and high-stakes action. With its ensemble cast, stylish visuals, and Vanga’s signature high-octane storytelling, Spirit promises to be one of the most anticipated pan-India thrillers of 2027.
Fans and cinephiles alike are already marking their calendars, with the anticipation around Vivek Oberoi’s villainous debut and Prabhas’ heroic arc creating a perfect storm of pre-release hype.
