\"Triptii Triptii Dimri and rumoured boyfriend Sam Merchant were all hearts for each other. About Spirit<\/p>\n

Spirit is Sandeep\u2019s next film after the polarising Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Bobby Deol-starrer Animal. Much like his previous films, Arjun Reddy (2017) and Kabir Singh (2019), the 2023 film sparked conversations about toxic masculinity, misogyny, and violence in cinema.<\/p>\n

The director, however, appears to have adhered to his filmmaking style, as evident in the first look of spirit and the \u2018sound story\u2019 he previously released. Prabhas, Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi, Kanchana and Prakash Raj star in the film produced by T-Series Films and Bhadrakali Pictures Production.<\/p>\n
