# Spirit delay denied by makers, Prabhas-Salman clash still possible for Eid 2027 2026-08-18T19:26:12+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 5 independent outlets Prabhas and Salman Khan could still clash at the box office on Eid 2027. Makers of the Prabhas-starrer Spirit have denied recent reports that the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film is being postponed. On March 5, 2027, Spirit is scheduled to release. Vamshi Paidipally's untitled film starring Salman Khan and Nayanthara is also targeting the same Eid 2027 window. A T-Series spokesperson told multiple outlets, "We are very much on track with the release of Spirit. The film is slated to release on March 5, 2027, and there is absolutely no change to the announced release date." Bollywood Hungama had reported, citing an anonymous source, that 75 days of shooting remain and a June 2027 backup date was being discussed. Prabhas is also shooting for Fauzi, set for December 3, 2026 release. Spirit stars Triptii Dimri and Vivek Oberoi. The Salman Khan film's exact release date has not been announced. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Bollywood Hungama report, citing an anonymous source, claims the film is 75 shooting days behind and that T-Series has already discussed a June 2027 backup. Telugu360.com frames the same speculation as a fresh debate requiring a clear statement from the makers, while TeluguCinema.com acknowledges Prabhas’s history of release changes but notes the production team denies the delay. Greatandhra.com and Hindustan Times both lead with the official denial, treating the delay rumour as baseless. A careful reader will note that the source of the delay claim is unnamed and that T-Series issued a blanket denial, the story is therefore about a rumour versus a denial, not a confirmed change. Watch whether T-Series releases any further schedule updates in the coming months. ## Coverage Coverage: 5 sources, 4 neutral, 1 sensationalist - bollywoodhungama.com (sensationalist) Leads with an anonymous source claiming the film is behind schedule and a June backup is being discussed - greatandhra.com (neutral report) Leads with the official denial, calling the delay reports rumours vs reality - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Leads with the official denial, reports the clash as still possible - telugu360.com (neutral report) Frames the delay reports as a fresh debate, calls for a clear statement from makers - telugucinema.com (neutral report) Notes Prabhas's history of release changes but leads with the production team's denial This story was synthesised by AI from the 5 sources linked above.
