Vivek Oberoi Enters Prabhas’ Spirit Universe, Netizens Can’t Chill!

Like a sudden thunderclap over Telugu cinema, Vivek Oberoi’s return has got fans buzzing. He’s done films across Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu, including Vinaya Vidheya Rama with Ram Charan and Lucifer with Mohanlal, but it’s been almost a decade since his last Telugu outing. Now, he’s back in Prabhas’ Spirit, and people online just can’t keep calm.

The film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the guy behind Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh and Animal, stars Prabhas in the lead. Vivek reportedly plays the antagonist, and the teaser, dropped on Prabhas’ birthday, went out in five languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. It shows Prabhas in a fiery avatar, hints at him being an IPS officer behind bars, and introduces Vivek and Prakash Raj in major roles. The vibe? Dark, edgy, and totally gripping.

Vivek took to X (formerly Twitter) sharing his excitement. “#OneBadHabit is all it takes to get you #inspiritmode. And what a powerful ‘sound story’ that was! Happy Birthday to the Rebel Star, #Prabhas! Super kicked about bringing this action to life,” he wrote. Fans are already losing it online, eager to see him spar with Prabhas on screen. His energy seems like a perfect fit for Vanga’s signature style.

Casting had its twists too. Deepika Padukone was initially considered for the female lead but had to step away, and Triptii Dimri stepped in, impressing everyone with her work in Animal. With Vivek back, Prabhas leading, and Vanga directing, Spirit looks set to be an intense, action-packed ride. Fans are marking calendars, ready for some serious cinema fireworks.
