Spirit marks the first collaboration between director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and pan-Indian superstar Prabhas, and naturally, the project has created huge excitement among fans. Recently, a rumor spread that the franchises of Spirit and Animal are connected.
Released in 2023, Animal was a massive blockbuster, and the team has already announced it as a franchise, with a sequel titled Animal Park teased at the end of the film. The sequel is expected to begin after Vanga completes shooting Spirit. This led to speculation on social media that Ranbir Kapoor might appear in Spirit, as Vanga is the director and that the film could tie into the Animal universe.
However, this theory does not hold up. Vanga and his team have designed Spirit as a separate franchise, independent of Animal. A simple point supports this: if Spirit were part of the Animal franchise, the makers would not have cast Tripti Dimri as the heroine, since she already played a key role in Animal.
Therefore, there is no connection between Spirit and Animal, as both films explore completely different themes. While Ranbir Kapoor may still make a cameo appearance in Spirit, his role will not be linked to the Animal storyline.
