Deepika Padukone Reunites with Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Action Drama ‘Spirit’

Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone officially teams up again with Prabhas for their next major project, Spirit. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga helms this high-octane action drama, marking Deepika and Prabhas’s second on-screen collaboration after the sci-fi blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD. This exciting update has sent a wave of joy through fans nationwide as two of India’s biggest stars prepare to share the screen once more.

Deepika Padukone Signs Spirit Opposite Prabhas

After a short maternity break, Deepika Padukone has dived back into the spotlight with several big-ticket films. She recently joined King opposite Shah Rukh Khan, but the real buzz surrounds her signing for Spirit. Earlier, scheduling conflicts kept her from accepting the role. However, when the team delayed the shoot, they re-approached her, and she agreed to join.

This project marks her first-ever collaboration with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and insiders say her role plays a crucial and emotionally powerful part in the film. “Sandeep wrote the most well-crafted female role of his career,” a source shared. Deepika loved the emotional depth and complexity of her character and immediately said yes after reading the script.

What to Expect from Spirit?

Spirit promises a gripping action drama with Prabhas playing a fearless police officer. The film dives deep into emotional conflict and high-stakes confrontations—trademarks of Vanga’s storytelling. With Deepika joining the cast, the film now carries even more weight and anticipation.

T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures are jointly producing the movie. Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga lead the production, while Harshavardhan Rameshwar, known for his work in Animal, composes both the songs and background score.

Shooting and Release Timeline

The team plans to start shooting in October 2025 and aims to release the film by mid-2027. The updated schedule gave Deepika enough time to balance her other commitments. Her lineup already includes Kalki 2898 AD 2, Pathaan 2, and King.

Meanwhile, the production team continues to revise the supporting cast. They have already confirmed Prabhas and Deepika as the lead pair and are now finalizing the remaining key roles, including the film’s villains.

A Powerhouse Duo Returns

Deepika Padukone and Prabhas, who previously impressed fans with their chemistry in Kalki 2898 AD, are ready to recreate that magic in Spirit. With Vanga’s bold vision, a strong story, and a powerful lead pair, Spirit stands out as one of the most awaited films of the decade.

The official announcement will drop soon, stay tuned.
