The audio teaser for the pan-India film Spirit, starring superstar Prabhas and directed by sensational filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has generated significant excitement on social media. Released as a birthday gift for Prabhas, the teaser highlights the film’s intense narrative and has become a talking point among fans nationwide.
Amid the celebrations, a fake tweet circulated under Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone’s name, adding confusion. The fabricated post read, “The Spirit video is amazing… but I feel sad, Sandeep Reddy. Happy birthday to Prabhas sir.” The tweet went viral within minutes, leading many to believe Deepika had commented. Initially, reports had suggested Deepika was approached for the heroine role but was replaced by Trupti Dimri due to differences over remuneration and work conditions. The fake tweet fueled speculation that Deepika regretted opting out of the project.
Alongside the teaser, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga released an official audio clip titled “Sound-Story” in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The nearly one-minute clip showcases a tense exchange between a jailer and his assistant, as they discuss treating a former police officer in custody as a regular inmate and conducting a frisking, adding suspense and intrigue to the film’s narrative.
The makers have officially confirmed that Prabhas stars alongside Trupti Dimri, Kanchan, Prakash Raj, and Vivek Oberoi. While the teaser and audio clip have elevated anticipation for Spirit, the fake Deepika tweet has sparked unnecessary debate online, highlighting the challenges of misinformation amid the growing hype.
