Spirit update: Prabhas wraps first schedule; jail-side action & midnight shoots with Triptii Dimri done

The much-awaited Spirit - directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga - has concluded its first schedule, with Rebel Star Prabhas finishing all his scenes for this phase. Early in the schedule, the team filmed intense jail sequences.

Reports then describe a sequence of back-to-back night shoots featuring Prabhas and his co-star Triptii Dimri, captured at a women’s college in Hyderabad that was given a dark, atmospheric makeover for film purposes. Following these scenes, the set goes on a short pause - but only momentarily.

A Short Pause - And What’s Next

According to reports, insiders suggest that after this wrap-up, shooting will soon resume - with the next schedule possibly moving to international locales. While there’s no official confirmation yet, all eyes are on where and when the cameras roll again.

Meanwhile, Prabhas is reportedly taking a brief break - some speculated downtime as he prepares for a planned trip abroad. Once he returns, the team is expected to dive straight back into production, with filming likely resuming soon after mid-December.

Tight Security: Leaks Are Not Welcome

From the very beginning, the makers of Spirit have been stringent about leaks. In crowded public spaces - airports, public events - pleas have reportedly been issued to fans not to try sneaky photos. The team has gone so far as to ask Prabhas to skip public appearances for now.

Despite these measures, a BTS (behind-the-scenes) photograph of Prabhas in police uniform - standing beside Vanga - has started circulating. Its authenticity remains unverified, but that hasn’t stopped fans from going into a frenzy with speculation and excitement.

What Spirit Promises: Cop-Thriller Meets Emotions & Romance

Spirit marks the first collaboration between the Baahubali star and Animal helmer. The film positions the Rebel Star as a tough, no-nonsense cop - with sources indicating a storyline involving high-stakes law enforcement, crime syndicates and intense drama.

Alongside action, the movie is expected to weave in a layered emotional arc and a romantic track between Prabhas and Triptii Dimri.

On the technical side, music plays a key role: composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar - known for work in previous Vanga films - has reportedly finished much of the background score, aiming to keep production swift and tight.

Given the scale, style, and cast, Spirit is shaping up to be one of the most significant pan-India action dramas of the coming years.
