Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga film Spirit starring Prabhas became the most talked-about casting development. Initially set as female lead, she was replaced by Triptii Dimri. Producer Pranay Reddy Vanga, brother of Sandeep revealed fresh explanation in NTV interview. Film will release in Tamil and Telugu languages worldwide.

Pranay said Deepika spent more than year with script, impressed by story and character. She remained in discussions, showing genuine interest. Complications arose during commercial negotiations. Her team reportedly sought ten percent profit share apart from remuneration. Differences over shooting schedule and working hours also emerged, creating difficult situation for makers.

Following Deepika's departure, makers cast Triptii Dimri, who gained fame in Animal. Earlier reports cited remuneration, profit sharing and working hour disagreements. Sandeep's cryptic comments fueled speculation. Importantly ten percent profit claim comes from Pranay account, while Deepika has not publicly confirmed the version, keeping controversy alive in industry circles.

Spirit is a large-scale action drama with Prabhas in the lead, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film will release in Tamil and Telugu, creating huge pan-India buzz. Triptii Dimri steps into a crucial role. Despite casting controversy, expectations remain high for Spirit as a major 2027 theatrical event for fans.
