Katrina Kaif’s fans have been eagerly waiting to see the actress return to the massive screen after her last theatrical release, Merry Christmas (2024), alongside Vijay Sethupathi. Following the announcement of her pregnancy in September 2025 and the birth of her son in November the identical 12 months, speculation surrounding her acting comeback has remained strong.
Katrina Kaif NOT returning with Prabhas’ Spirit, casting reports dismissed as ‘completely inaccurate’
The most recent round of rumours suggested that Katrina had been forged opposite Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-awaited motion drama Spirit. The reports also claimed that the film would mark her return to Telugu cinema after nearly 20 years, leaving fans excited in regards to the possibility.
Nonetheless, it seems that the speculation has no basis. A well-placed industry source has dismissed the reports, calling them “completely inaccurate and misleading.”
The source said, “There is completely no truth to the claims being made about Katrina Kaif’s future acting plans. The report is predicated entirely on speculation and misinformation, with no verification.” The clarification puts an end, a minimum of for now, to the rumours linking the actress with one of the crucial anticipated movies currently in production.
Interestingly, Spirit has remained within the highlight ever because it was announced, with its casting generating frequent headlines. Over the past few years, several reports have linked different actors to the project. Earlier, there have been rumours that star couple Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan were being considered for vital roles within the film.
The project later became the topic of widespread discussion after Deepika Padukone reportedly exited the film. Industry reports suggested that the actress stepped away following disagreements over remuneration and work conditions. She was subsequently replaced by Triptii Dimri, who previously collaborated with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga in Animal.
Besides Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, Spirit also stars Vivek Oberoi in a pivotal role. The film is currently one of the crucial awaited releases from Vanga and is slated to hit theatres on March 5, 2027.
