Mumbai, Oct 24 : Actor Vivek Oberoi is set to play a key role in ‘Spirit’, the upcoming action drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for films like Kabir Singh and Animal. The film stars Prabhas in the lead, with Prakash Raj and Triptii Dimri completing the main cast.
The teaser for the film was unveiled on Thursday, coinciding with Prabhas’ birthday, and released in five languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The short clip teased Prabhas’ fiery avatar and introduced Vivek Oberoi as a pivotal antagonist.
Sharing the teaser, Vanga wrote on social media:
“Happy Birthday Prabhas anna. Presenting a ‘sound story’ in five Indian languages straight from the heart, for every fan who has felt his fire.”
The official Spirit page added:
“The system knows his record. The streets know his rage. Now the world will know his #OneBadHabit.”
The teaser paints a dark, intense picture, hinting that Prabhas plays an IPS officer who, for undisclosed reasons, ends up behind bars. His line, “Right from childhood, I have one bad habit,” sets the tone for the high-octane narrative.
Vivek Oberoi shared his excitement on X, writing:
“#OneBadHabit is all it takes to get you #inspiritmode. And what a powerful ‘sound story’ that was! Happy Birthday to the Rebel Star, #Prabhas! Super kicked about bringing this action to life with your unmatched magic, @imvangasandeep.”
Initially, Deepika Padukone was considered for the female lead, but her tight schedule led the role to go to Triptii Dimri, who gained acclaim for her performance in Vanga’s Animal.
‘Spirit’ is slated for release in 2026, promising a high-octane, multi-lingual action spectacle.
