Prabhas and Sandeep Vanga are working together for the film Spirit. The team initially roped in Deepika Padukone as the heroine but she is now replaced with Tripti Dimri. Interestingly, Sandeep was silent all this while but he seems to have lost cool as there are reports about Deepika leaking the film’s story and her PR is already carrying articles that the film will be completely A-rated, filled with multiple bold scenes.
Taking to X, Sandeep shared a cryptic post and everyone thinks that he is hitting out at Deepika Padukone.
We hear that Deepika also dragged Tripti into the issue and leaked that Spirit features many A rated scenes even before it went to the floors. Since she dragged Tripti, Sandeep questioned the ethics of the actress who quit his project for putting down a young actor.
“When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You’ve ‘DISCLOSED’ the person that you are. Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn’t get it. You won’t get it. You will never get it. Aisa karo…. Agli baar poori kahani bolna… kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha. #dirtyPRgames. I like this kahawath very much 🙂 खुंदक में बिल्ली खंबा नोचे!” reads the tweet.
Ever since Deepika has been dropped from the film, there were narratives in the media that Sandeep is putting unnecessary rules to Deepika. The narrative says that Sandeep is not allowing Deepika to work as per her convenience since she is a young mother who needs to give her time to the newly born.
The other side of the story is that Deepika is demanding a hefty pay check along with a share in profits. The buzz says that she does not want to work entire 8 hour stretch but demanded a 6-hour call-sheet with full payment. Additionally, she wanted the producer to cover the salaries of her team. Based on all this, the team reportedly dropped the actor.
All of a sudden, Deepika’s PR seems to be mudslinging against Sandeep Vanga and carrying negative reports against the film. Multiple reports are saying that Sandeep penned a lot of bold scenes between the lead pair. The speculations say that it is Deepika who leaked the story but Sandeep seems to be unaffected by the same.
The confidence with which he posted the tweet says that he don’t give a damn even if it is the top heroine of the Indian film industry and would never compromise his self respect as a filmmaker.
We have to see if there will be any repercussions from team Deepika.
