Hyderabad: Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-awaited film ‘Spirit’, featuring Prabhas in the lead, has officially gone on the floors.
On Sunday, the makers confirmed the news with pictures from the film’s muhurat. Joining the team was megastar Chiranjeevi, who was present for the muhurat puja as the special guest of honour.
“Shoot prarambham! India’s biggest superstar Prabhas’s “SPIRIT” goes ON FLOORS today!

Prabhas seemed to be absent from the ceremony.
Besides Prabhas and Triptii, the film also features actors like Vivek Oberoi and Prakash Raj in key characters.
