Let’s be honest — Vivek Oberoi as a villain feels like a long-overdue homecoming. The actor, known for his intense screen presence, looks absolutely commanding in this icy, brooding avatar. Actress Aishwarya Desai is also seen alongside him in the poster, likely playing his love interest, adding another layer of intrigue to his character.

What We Know About Prabhas in Spirit

Prabhas plays a fierce, hot-headed IPS officer in the film — a far cry from his mythological and sci-fi roles. His own first-look poster earlier showed him rugged, long-haired, battle-scarred, and clutching a bottle of whiskey with Triptii Dimri’s character by his side. It screams Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s signature raw, no-holds-barred style — much like his previous outings Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, and Animal.

On a wider scale, Spirit promises a global theatrical release spanning eight languages, underlining its massive pan-world ambitions.
