Prabhas’ ‘Spirit’ Gets New Release Date, Sets Up Diwali 2027 Clash with ‘Ramayana Part 2’

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, starring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, has a new release date. The film, earlier slated for December 2026, will now hit theatres worldwide on October 29, 2027, coinciding with Diwali.

Vanga made the announcement on Saturday, promising a new poster of Prabhas. He later shared the date on X along with a fresh look at the actor from the film.

Sharing the poster, he wrote: “Check this out……..#Spirit #InSpiritMode @TSeries @VangaPictures #IndiasBiggestSuperStar 29TH OCTOBER DIWALI 2027. Worldwide RELEASE DATE.”

A DIWALI SHOWDOWN IN THE MAKING

The new date sets the stage for a possible box-office clash with Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Part 2, which is also planned for a Diwali 2027 release. Produced by Namit Malhotra, the film is expected to feature Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana.

Its exact release date has not yet been officially announced, so it remains to be seen whether the two films will actually land on the same day. Both are expected to draw considerable audience interest.

VANGA’S FOLLOW-UP TO ‘ANIMAL’

Spirit is Vanga’s first film since Animal, the 2023 release starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. The film earned more than Rs 900 crore worldwide and remains the highest-grossing film of his career.

Vanga announced his collaboration with Prabhas in 2021, and shooting on Spirit began in November 2025. Its release plans have changed several times, with earlier dates including March 2027 and December 2026 before the latest announcement.
