Sharing the pics, the makers wrote, "Shoot prarambham! India's biggest superstar Prabhas's SPIRIT goes ON FLOORS today! A monumental beginning, produced by Bhushan Kumar and helmed by blockbuster director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The muhurat puja witnessed the presence of Prabhas, Triptii Dimri, Bhushan Kumar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Pranay Reddy Vanga & Shiv Chanana, with Megastar Chiranjeevi joining as the special guest of honour. A historic cinematic journey begins now."
Earlier, reports claimed that Deepika Padukone would play the female lead in the film. However, due to her alleged fallout with Vanga over her demands, including the 8-hour shift, she exited the project, and Triptii bagged the role.
Spirit also stars Vivek Oberoi and Prakash Raj in key roles. Both appeared to be absent from the ceremony.
Last month, on Prabhas' birthday, the Animal director shared the audio teaser of the film, where Prabhas' voice says, "Sir, since childhood, I have one bad habit." He repeatedly says, "Right from childhood, I have one bad habit."
Spirit is scheduled to hit the screens in 2026. It is backed by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Sandeep's Bhadrakali Pictures. The film marks Prabhas and Vanga's first collaboration. Triptii has worked with him in Animal.
