Soon after its release, the poster began making headlines for another reason. Several online users started comparing the visual to a scene from Dhurandhar. The comparison quickly went viral across social media platforms.

Those familiar with Dhurandhar pointed out a scene where Rahman Dacait's wife Ulfat lights his cigarette while he prepares to seek revenge. Viewers claim the moment is visually striking and memorable.

In the Spirit poster, a similar visual can be seen. Triptii appears in the background while Prabhas faces away from the camera with a cigarette in his mouth. This resemblance has fueled speculation and debate online.

Some netizens alleged that the sequence may not even be part of the film. They claimed the makers may have used a Dhurandhar-like visual only to generate hype for the upcoming action drama. A few even suggested the scene was shot secretly to avoid leaks and online trolling.

Others described the poster as a calculated PR move. They argued that the team wants to draw larger crowds, especially if The Raja Saab fails to perform well at the box office.

So far, the Spirit team has not commented on the similarities. Despite this, the poster has created strong buzz among fans, particularly given Sandeep Reddy Vanga's past work.

Many fans believe that the debate itself will help Spirit gain more attention. For now, audiences are eagerly waiting for the trailer to see the new cinematic world created by SRV.
