Prabhas and Prashanth Neel have worked together in Salaar. Salaar grossed over Rs 700 crore

at the box office, cementing its status as a massive blockbuster. Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire is a 2023 Telugu epic action drama film. Set in the fictional dystopian city-state of Khansaar, where monarchy still reigns, the film delves into the deep bond between Deva (Prabhas), a prince forced into exile, and Varadha (Prithviraj Sukumaran), the reigning heir to the throne. As betrayal brews within the palace, with ministers and royal relatives conspiring to overthrow him, Varadha turns to Deva for help in securing his rightful place as Khansaar’s ultimate ruler.

Prabhas work front

He will be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit co starring Tripti Dimri. Spirit is touted to feature the Baahubali actor in a never-before-seen avatar of an angry young police officer who locks horns with a mafia syndicate. If the buzz is anything to go by, the upcoming action drama will be one of Prabhas’ most intense roles, with Sandeep’s incredible direction adding appeal to the drama.

Initially, the film was reported to be starring Deepika Padukone as the female co-lead but the actress walked out of the project due to failed negotiations. After her exit, Triptii Dimri was roped in to play the lead, marking her Telugu cinema debut. The rest of the cast has been kept under wraps.

In 2025,  the makers of Spirit released a one-minute-long audio teaser in five Indian languages. In the teaser, a jailer and his assistant were heard talking about an ex-cop in remand. While the jailer was seen giving instructions to the assistant, the latter asked him to maintain decorum. The jailer then asked his assistant to strip off the prisoner. In the end of the sound teaser, we heard Prabhas’ voice saying, “Sir, since childhood, I have one bad habit.” He then repeated, “Right from childhood, I have one bad habit.”
