FilmmakerSandeep Reddy Vangahas shed light on the creative thought behind the much-discussed poster of his upcoming action dramaSpirit, starringPrabhasandTriptii Dimri.

Speaking during an interaction withPeople Media Factory, Vanga revealed that the poster is not a conceptual design but a still lifted from an actual scene in the film.

The director explained that the image captured a powerful moment and helped him decide how he wanted to present Prabhas after his iconicBaahubaliphase.

“That is cut from a scene of the film. I was thinking how I should present him afterBaahubali. It had to be something strong,”he added.

During the interaction, Vanga also shared a lighter moment, speaking about Prabhas’s off-screen persona.
