Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-anticipated film ‘Spirit’ is set to release in cinemas on October 29, 2027, coinciding with the Diwali festive season. The announcement marks a change in the film’s release schedule, with the action drama previously slated to arrive in theatres on March 5, 2027.
‘Spirit’ marks the first collaboration between Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, raising expectations among fans eager to see the actor in the filmmaker’s distinctive cinematic style. The film also stars Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Desai in key roles.
The project is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Krishan Kumar and Prabhakar Reddy Vanga.
‘Spirit’ Moves From March to Diwali 2027
The film was initially scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on March 5, 2027. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga reiterated the date in August 2026 while sharing an update on the film’s production schedule. However, the latest announcement has shifted the release to October 29, 2027, placing ‘Spirit’ in the Diwali release window.
The new date positions the film for a festive theatrical run, a period that traditionally attracts audiences to cinemas. With Prabhas headlining the project and Vanga directing, ‘Spirit’ is among the upcoming Indian films drawing considerable attention from moviegoers.
Although the revised schedule gives the film a new target date, further updates regarding its production and promotional campaign are awaited.
‘Spirit’ Could Face Competition From ‘Ramayana Part 2’
The October 29, 2027 release date could also bring ‘Spirit’ into potential competition with ‘Ramayana Part 2’, the second instalment of filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra’s mythological epic.
The film features Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi in prominent roles and is expected to be one of the major releases attracting attention in the 2027 calendar.
However, a direct box-office clash between the two films is not yet certain. The extent of any competition will depend on the final release schedule of both projects, along with any subsequent changes to their theatrical dates.
If both films arrive around the same time, the festive period could see two major productions competing for audience attention. Their eventual release plans will determine whether they share the same weekend or arrive on different dates.
High Expectations From Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s First Collaboration
‘Spirit’ brings together Prabhas, known for films such as the ‘Baahubali’ franchise and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director behind ‘Arjun Reddy’, ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Animal’.
The collaboration has generated interest because it brings one of Indian cinema’s prominent pan-Indian stars together with a filmmaker known for his intense storytelling and distinctive approach to commercial cinema.
With Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Desai also part of the cast, the film is expected to remain a major talking point as it moves closer to its revised release date.
For now, ‘Spirit’ is scheduled to hit cinemas worldwide on October 29, 2027, with its Diwali release positioning it among the notable theatrical arrivals of the year. Whether it ultimately faces a box-office clash with ‘Ramayana Part 2’ will become clearer as the release plans for both films are finalised.
