With Deepika Padukone’s exit, one might have assumed Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit would be delayed. Instead, the Prabhas and Triptii Dimri-starrer is now likely to release in August 2027, significantly earlier than its initial December 2027 date. According to industry sources, the shift follows strong advice from distributors to avoid a clash with Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for December 17, 2027.
“[The distributors] told the makers very clearly that clashing with Avengers: Secret Wars is not sensible. That film will dominate globally. An August release gives Spirit the space it needs,” a source informed mid-day.
