After the thunderous impact of Animal, producer Bhushan Kumar and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga collaborate once again in this film. About Spirit poster The poster shows a bare-bodied Prabhas, with his back towards the camera, standing on a balcony with a drink in his hand as he leans towards Triptii, who lights up his cigarette. Prabhas’s back is bruised and bandaged while Triptii Dimri’s look is simple, clad in a saree. Prabhas can be seen sporting long hair and wearing dark glasses.
