Korean Star Don Lee to Clash with Prabhas in Upcoming Thriller 'Spirit'

In a significant development for global cinema, Korean actor Don Lee, also known as Ma Dong-seok, has reportedly been cast in the upcoming Telugu-language film 'Spirit'. The action thriller, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, will see Lee take on the role of the primary antagonist, pitting him against the film's lead, Prabhas.

The news of Lee's involvement in the project has generated considerable buzz in the entertainment industry, as it marks the Korean star's first venture into the Indian film landscape. 'Spirit' is described as a cop action film, with Prabhas playing the lead role alongside Triptii Dimri, Prakash Raj, and Vivek Oberoi.

Vanga, the director of the film, has gained a reputation as "one of the most controversial commercial directors in recent times" for his previous works, including 'Animal' and 'Arjun Reddy'. The casting of Don Lee, known for his performances in global hits like 'Train to Busan' and Marvel's 'Eternals', is expected to further heighten the anticipation surrounding the project.

While the production team has yet to officially confirm Lee's involvement, the actor's social media activity, which has shown him traveling to India, has fueled speculation about his participation in 'Spirit'. Industry observers note the potential impact of this cross-cultural collaboration, as it reflects the growing trend of international talent joining forces in the global film industry.

The film is scheduled for a theatrical release in 2026, and fans eagerly await further updates on the project, particularly regarding the dynamic between Prabhas and Don Lee's characters.
