Overview
- The New Year poster showing a wounded Prabhas with Triptii Dimri lighting his cigarette went viral, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga says the image was taken from a scene rather than a photoshoot.
- Vanga clarified that the item in Prabhas’s hand is a one‑litre bottle, addressing fan interpretations that proliferated after the reveal.
- Prabhas hailed the visual as a “cult” image and “my best poster till now,” boosting anticipation for the action drama.
- Mid-day reports, citing industry sources, that distributors urged a shift to August 2027 to avoid Marvel’s December tentpole, with filming continuing through the New Year and an expected break canceled.
- During a promotional chat, a co-star inadvertently revealed a character relationship, drawing a gentle reprimand from the director as Prabhas defused the moment; confirmed cast includes Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi and Prakash Raj, with Prabhas as an IPS officer in a T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures production.
