Spirit First Look: Makers Unveil Intriguing Look Featuring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, January 1 - The much-awaited first look of Prabhas' upcoming film Spirit has been unveiled, and it has taken the internet by storm. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film marks the first collaboration between the Baahubali star and the Animal filmmaker. The first-look poster features Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, who plays the female lead, in an intimate yet unsettling frame that perfectly captures the raw and gritty tone of the film. Prabhas appears in a rugged avatar, his back bruised and bandaged, exuding pain, aggression, and suppressed rage. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Triptii Dimri, standing close beside Prabhas, adds an emotional and sensual undertone to the visual, hinting at a complex and intense relationship between the two characters. The poster strongly aligns with Sandeep Reddy Vanga's signature style—dark, intense, and unapologetically visceral. The poster suggests a narrative driven by inner demons, obsession, and emotional conflict rather than conventional heroism. Prabhas' transformation signals a clear departure from his recent larger-than-life roles, placing him in a more grounded, contemporary, and psychologically charged space. Produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, Spirit is being mounted on a grand scale and is already touted as one of the most anticipated Indian films in the pipeline. While the makers have not revealed plot details yet, Spirit is widely expected to explore themes of rage, love, trauma, and redemption, a terrain Vanga is known to handle with brutal honesty. For Triptii Dimri, the film marks her biggest mainstream project yet, pairing her with one of India's biggest superstars in a role that appears bold and performance-driven.

Hyderabad, December 31 - After the big success of sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, the makers are gearing up to take the Kalki universe forward with its much-awaited sequel. As per the latest buzz in Telugu media, Part 2 of Prabhas-starrer is set to go on floors in February 2026, after months of delay. Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2 has been in pre-production for quite some time now, with the team carefully chalking out the scale, action blocks, and visual effects-heavy portions. Given the enormous scope of the sequel, the makers are reportedly taking time to fine-tune the script and technical execution to ensure it matches, or even surpasses, the first part's cinematic impact. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Prabhas, who is currently juggling multiple big-ticket projects, is expected to allocate dedicated dates for Kalki Part 2 starting early 2026. The film will once again be mounted on a grand scale, with extensive use of cutting-edge VFX and large studio setups. Key cast members from the first instalment, including Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, are also expected to reprise their roles. The production of the film hit a major roadblock when the makers announced the exit of Deepika Padukone, reportedly due to her exaggerated demands. The actress played a crucial role in the first part, and now, the makers are looking for a new actress to replace her, for which the announcement is expected to be made soon. With Kalki 2898 AD establishing itself as one of the most ambitious Indian films ever made, expectations are sky-high for Kalki Part 2. Prabhas and epic sci-fi cinema rooted in Indian culture are eagerly waiting for the makers to make a formal announcement regarding this mega project. The film is produced by Vyjayanthi Movies.

The Raja Saab Vs Jana Nayagan Advance Booking (North America): Prabhas-starrer Locks Into A Tight Battle With Vijay's Actioner

BY SACNILK

Los Angeles, January 7 - The North American box office is witnessing an intense pre-release clash, not among the local titles but two Indian blockbusters, which gear up to hit the big screens over the Pongal/Sankranthi festival. Pan Indian superstar Prabhas' The Raja Saab and Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan have locked in for a tight battle as far as pre-sales are concerned. With both films slated for a January 9 release, with premieres scheduled for January 8, the overseas market, especially the US, has become a key battleground for the two potential mega blockbusters, setting the tone for what could be one of the biggest South Indian box office face-offs of very early 2026, a year, that can redefine the true potential of Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Raja Saab has the advantage of being a Prabhas-starrer, whose films have historically done well in North America. The romantic horror comedy opened bookings well ahead of its rival, but it hasn't picked up as was expected, even though it remains good with almost $750K for premieres as of 10 AM IST on January 7. As said, the pace has been relatively moderate compared to Prabhas' previous blockbusters, making the race far more competitive than initially expected. On the other hand, Vijay's political action thriller has emerged as the surprise package. Despite opening bookings much later, the Tamil actioner has shown sharp momentum, with rapid growth in daily ticket sales across the US and Canada. Riding on this surge, Jana Nayagan has inched ahead with approximately $825K in pre-sales, marginally overtaking The Raja Saab in the North American booking race. The box office battle of The Raja Saab and Jana Nayagan, which wasn't expected to be this intense, is also generating huge buzz back home. Even though it is relatively a no-contest here since both films belong to different industries with not much challenge to each other in their respective home market, The Raja Saab could emerge as an overall winner, given the genre and massive Pan India stardom of Prabhas.

Top 5 A-Rated Indian Films At Worldwide Box Office: Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Tops The Chart

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, December 25 - Indian cinema has seen big results at the box office over the last few years, with many films crossing the 500 crores milestone. It used to be a rarity before the COVID pandemic, but with audiences craving for big-ticket entertainers with solid theatrical appeal, the milestone is no longer out of reach. While crossing the half-billion mark might not be a big ask anymore, films with A-ratings have always walked a tightrope at the box office. With restricted audiences, limited family footfalls, and often polarising themes, breaking records in the adult-certified space is no easy feat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Yet, every once in a while, a film comes along that defies the odds, rewriting the rules of what an A-rated Indian film can achieve commercially. Well, this has happened a few times over the last couple of years, where multiple A-rated titles achieved big success at the box office, proving that audiences are ready to embrace such films if they are worthy of their time and money. Here are the top 5 highest-grossing Indian films at the worldwide box office - 1. Dhurandhar (Hindi, 2025) - 944+ crore (20 days) Director - Aditya Dhar Starring - Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi Still in theatres and still breathing fire, Dhurandhar is rewriting the narrative in real time. Powered by ferocious performances, raw action, and an uncompromising tone, the film has already crossed massive global milestones by becoming the all-time biggest A-rated grosser. It is now marching towards 1000 crores gross milestone. 2. Animal (Hindi, 2023) - 915 crore Director - Sandeep Reddy Vanga Starring - Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Violent, divisive, and relentless, the action drama rooted in father-son sentiments, Animal, went against the regular filmmaking and bulldozed its way to the top with an unprecedented worldwide gross, proving that controversy can fuel commerce when executed with scale and conviction. It remains the gold standard for A-rated dominance. 3. Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire (Telugu, 2023) - 618 crores Director - Prashanth Neel Starring - Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumara, Shruti Haasan A dark, violent, and thunderous action spectacle, Salaar: Ceasefire was largely believed to have underperformed at the box office despite big numbers. However, despite its A-rating, the Prabhas-led film stormed the worldwide box office, driven by massive openings across multiple territories and sustained mass appeal.

Coolie (Tamil, 2025) - 518 crores Director - Lokesh Kanagaraj Starring - Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Aamir Khan The film surprised with its adult-rating, which eventually proved to be a roadblock for its overall potential. Coolie, headlined by superstar Rajinikanth, combined raw storytelling with commercial sensibilities. The film received mixed word of mouth, which helped it to cross the 500 crores milestone. 5. Kabir Singh (Hindi, 2019) - 377 crores Director - Sandeep Reddy Vanga Starring - Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani The film that changed the game before the era of mega-scale A-rated actioners.
