Sometimes casting news hits like a sudden thunderbolt, instantly grabbing attention. That’s the case with Prabhas’ upcoming movie Spirit. Fans were already excited about Tripti Dimri joining as the lead heroine, and now rumours about the villain have taken the buzz to another level. A Bollywood star is reportedly stepping in to play the antagonist, adding a new twist to the project.

Vivek Oberoi is said to be roped in as the villain. He has previously acted in Telugu films, including Vinaya Vidheya Rama opposite Ram Charan, directed by Boyapati Srinu. While that film didn’t do well at the box office, his performance was noticed. In Bollywood, some of his films as a hero or villain haven’t been hits, so audiences are curious to see how he will fit into a Tollywood action drama.

His last film, Kesari Veer, a historical action movie released earlier this year, also failed to perform in theatres. Still, his casting in Spirit shows that filmmakers are open to experimenting. Prabhas, known for his strong screen presence, is expected to bring high energy, and pairing him with a Bollywood actor as the villain could give the film a fresh edge.

With a mix of actors from different industries, Spirit is shaping up to be a pan-Indian spectacle. Fans are eager to see how the story unfolds and how the new villain will impact the plot. With Prabhas leading, Tripti Dimri as the heroine, and Vivek Oberoi in a negative role, the film is already creating excitement even before its release.
