Ranbir Kapoor may be heading back into Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s world sooner than expected. As Prabhas gears up to begin filming Spirit, his upcoming cop action drama, a new report has sparked major excitement across the industry. The film has already drawn significant attention since its announcement, and now a fresh development has added further intrigue: Ranbir Kapoor is reportedly making a cameo appearance.
A recent Deccan Herald report suggests that Ranbir may appear at a pivotal moment in the film’s narrative. If true, this would mark the first on-screen collaboration between Prabhas and Ranbir, a pairing fans have speculated about for years. The possibility of both stars sharing the frame under Vanga’s direction has revived discussions around the filmmaker’s ambitions to build a connected cinematic universe. The idea gained traction when, during promotions for Animal, Ranbir hinted that their characters could logically exist within the same story ecosystem.
There is no official confirmation yet, but industry insiders are watching developments closely given the potential implications for future crossovers.
Spirit places Prabhas at the center of a high-octane narrative, portraying him as a committed and driven police officer. Triptii Dimri stars opposite him, while Vivek Oberoi and Prakash Raj take on key supporting roles. Production recently commenced with a traditional mahurat ceremony attended by Chiranjeevi as chief guest, signaling the start of an ambitious, large-scale project. The film is slated for a theatrical release in 2026.
