Prabhas has kicked off the new year with a bang by releasing the first look poster of his highly anticipated film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The poster features Prabhas in a rugged, shirtless avatar with cuts, bandages, and long hair, holding a liquor bottle. Triptii Dimri, who replaced Deepika Padukone in the project, is seen lighting his cigarette. While fans are excited about the poster, many netizens have drawn comparisons to Sandeep Reddy Vanga's past films, such as Animal (2023) and Kabir Singh (2019). Some have even speculated that the director drew inspiration from a similar scene in the 2025 film Dhurandhar, starring Akshaye Khanna and Saumya Tandon. The Spirit poster has left netizens divided, with some praising Prabhas' new look and others criticizing the similarities to Vanga's previous work. As one fan put it, 'It's the return of the long hair! This movie looks so edgy too!' On the other hand, a netizen joked, 'The same look recycled in every movie. Doesn't dude get tired of repeating the same thing?' The debate surrounding the Spirit poster is a testament to the excitement and anticipation surrounding Prabhas' new film. As the release date approaches, fans will be eagerly waiting to see if the movie lives up to the hype. What do you think of Prabhas and Triptii Dimri's first look poster for Spirit?
