Vivek Oberoi
Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit is one of the most anticipated movies at the moment. While the makers confirmed the early release and unveiled Prabhas' first-look poster, they have now shared another update. They have unveiled the striking first look of Vivek Oberoi from the film, along with Aishwarya Desai.
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.
Known for his versatility and impactful performances, his entry signals a compelling new dynamic within the film's expansive narrative canvas. The film also introduces Aishwarya Desai, a fresh face stepping into a significant role in this ambitious project, bringing a new and intriguing energy to the story.
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.
Apart from Spirit, Vivek will be seen in Rishab Shetty's The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as Aurangzeb. The film is said to chronicle the journey of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, his valour, strategic brilliance, and devotion that laid the foundation of Swarajya.
He has also joined the star-studded cast of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. He will be seen as Vibhishan in the film, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, and many other actors.
