Bhadrakali Pictures, the production house of director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, took to its X timeline to share pictures of the launch event. It said, "India’s biggest superstar Prabhas’s 'SPIRIT' has been launched with Megastar @KChiruTweets garu as the special guest."

Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who was touched by the Megastar's gesture of turning up for the event, penned a thank you note to Chiranjeevi on X. He wrote, "Heartfelt thank you to our MEGASTAR CHIRANJEEVI sir for blessing the event with his presence. Sir..... your gesture is unforgettable — we all love you KChiruTweets SPIRIT MUHURTHAM"

The director also posted pictures taken at the event. However, he was careful to ensure that none of the pictures posted showed Prabhas at the event for fear of revealing the actor's look in the film. 

On his Instagram page, he published a picture of Prabhas's hands holding the clapboard of the film and wrote, "Dear fans… I thought PRABHAS anna’s hands were enough to EXCITE YOU ALL... So, on this muhurath day, I’m posting this for you — with gratitude and love. SPIRIT."
