Aishwarya Desai and Vivek Oberoi
The makers of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit have dropped a new poster from the movie. The poster features Vivek Oberoi in a commanding role. However, he is not the only one in the frame. An actress is seen seated near a glass table with dishevelled hair, wearing oversized black sunglasses. While many initially assumed the woman in the poster was Triptii Dimri, who plays the female lead in the film, that is not the case. The actress featured alongside Oberoi is Aishwarya Desai.
The film introduces Aishwarya Desai, a fresh face stepping into a significant role in this ambitious project and bringing intriguing new energy to the narrative. Following the poster release, there has been considerable curiosity about her. According to her Instagram profile, she is a lifestyle and beauty content creator with over 36,000 followers at the time of her debut announcement. She is also a model and aspiring actress.
The intense world of SPIRIT expands with the powerful introduction of Vivek Oberoi, adding another formidable presence to one of the most anticipated cinematic spectacles on the horizon. Unveiled in a striking first look, Oberoi steps into the layered and high-stakes universe of SPIRIT with commanding screen presence and gravitas.
After the thunderous impact of Animal, producer Bhushan Kumar and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga continue to shape SPIRIT with bold creative choices and an uncompromising vision. Fronted by India's biggest superstar Prabhas and featuring Triptii Dimri in a pivotal role, the film promises a commanding and deeply intense cinematic experience mounted on scale and conviction. It also stars Prakash Raj and Kanchana in pivotal roles.
Mounted as a large-scale pan-world entertainer, Spirit is set to release in eight languages on March 5, 2027. Spirit went on floors in November 2025. The mahurat ceremony was attended by several big names from the entertainment industry. On New Year, the makers unveiled the striking first look of Prabhas, in which he is wounded, with Triptii lighting a cigarette for him.
It must be noted that while Spirit marks Sandeep Reddy Vanga's first professional association with Prabhas, he has worked with Triptii in Animal, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor.
