The film's principal photography officially began on November 23, 2025, in Hyderabad.

Ranbir Kapoor's Cameo Appearance In 'Spirit'

Ranbir Kapoor’s reported involvement is described as a game-changing cameo, strategically planned for a crucial juncture in the narrative. A source, cited by the Deccan Chronicle, emphasised the importance of this specific scene.

"Ranbir will come into the picture at a crucial juncture of the storytelling. It will be a turning point in the plot and a historic moment in Indian cinema since he has never shared screen space with Prabhas," the source explained.

This marks the first cinematic meeting between two of India's biggest stars, Prabhas and Ranbir Kapoor—a pairing that has understandably ignited massive excitement among fans globally.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Cinematic Universe

The speculation around Ranbir’s cameo has given significant momentum to the theory that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is actively crafting a cohesive cinematic universe, much like his contemporaries. The leading conjecture suggests that Ranbir's character might be connected to, or even be, the ferocious Ranvijay from Vanga’s colossal blockbuster, 'Animal'. If this link between 'Animal' and 'Spirit' is established, the combined star power and narrative continuity would set the stage for one of Indian cinema’s most exciting and commercially successful collaborations.
