Scarred, Silent, and Stormy: Prabhas Reveals His Fiercest Avatar in Spirit

Rebel Star Prabhas has unveiled one of the most striking and intense looks of his career with the first look poster of Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Released as a New Year 2026 surprise, the poster has instantly ignited discussions across social media, setting the tone for what promises to be a dark, powerful cinematic experience.
Sharing the poster, Sandeep Reddy Vanga wrote, “INDIAN CINEMA… witness your AJANUBAHUDU / AJANUBAHU. Happy New Year 2026,” instantly giving fans a name and identity that feels both mythic and menacing. Known for pushing emotional and visual boundaries, the director once again signals an uncompromising narrative driven by raw human conflict.
The first look presents Prabhas in a brutally realistic avatar. Shot from behind, his bare, muscular body is marked with scars, bruises, and bandages, silently hinting at a past soaked in violence and survival. His long hair and thick beard amplify the ruggedness, while his posture reflects exhaustion, suppressed rage, and emotional turmoil. A liquor bottle clenched in his hand further deepens the sense of inner chaos surrounding the character.
Adding a striking emotional layer to the poster is Tripti Dimri, who appears beside him in an intense, intimate moment as she lights his cigarette. The visual suggests a relationship charged with tension, vulnerability, and shared darkness, offering a glimpse into the film’s emotional depth without revealing too much.
Titled Spirit, the film appears set to explore themes of violence, inner conflict, strength, and moral ambiguity. While the makers have revealed very little about the storyline, the first look alone positions the character of Ajanubahudu as broken yet formidable, someone shaped by pain but driven by unstoppable force.
Currently in the early stages of production, Spirit is already one of the most anticipated Indian films in development. Prabhas has openly expressed his excitement about working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, further fueling expectations among fans and industry watchers alike. With this arresting first look, Spirit firmly announces itself as a film that intends to challenge, provoke, and leave a lasting impact.
