In an exciting development for Indian cinema fans, Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor is set to make a special cameo appearance in the much-anticipated Prabhas-starrer Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. This collaboration marks a significant moment as it will be the first time Kapoor shares screen space with the Telugu megastar.
Grand Beginning for Spirit
The official journey of Spirit commenced with a grand muhurat ceremony held on Sunday, November 23, 2025. The event was graced by the presence of Telugu cinema icon Chiranjeevi as the chief guest, adding immense star power to the occasion. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga expressed his gratitude on social media, thanking Chiranjeevi for his blessings.
Although lead actor Prabhas was not physically present at the ceremony, Vanga later shared a photograph of the actor holding the film's clapboard, generating significant excitement among the star's massive fanbase. The film's female lead, Triptii Dimri, who replaced Deepika Padukone after her controversial exit, was also present at the muhurat.
Ranbir Kapoor's Pivotal Role
According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, Ranbir Kapoor's appearance in Spirit is not just a mere cameo but a strategically placed one that will occur at a crucial turning point in the film's narrative. A source close to the production revealed that his entry will be integral to the plot's progression, making it a historic moment for Indian cinema.
This collaboration comes on the heels of the massive success of Animal, which featured Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role under Vanga's direction. The director-actor duo's previous work generated both critical acclaim and public discussion, setting high expectations for their renewed partnership in Spirit.
Star-Studded Cast and Production
The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast that includes Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj, and Kanchana in key roles. Spirit is being jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, and Krishan Kumar under the prestigious banners of T-Series Films and Bhadrakali Pictures.
The project had previously made headlines when Deepika Padukone exited the film, reportedly due to disagreements over work schedule demands. Her departure from Spirit was followed by her exit from the sequel to Kalki AD 2898, another project featuring Prabhas.
With the combination of Prabhas's pan-India appeal, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial prowess, and now Ranbir Kapoor's special appearance, Spirit is already positioning itself as one of the most talked-about films in the Indian cinematic landscape.
