Sandeep Reddy Vanga Calls Out ‘Dirty PR Games’ Following Deepika Padukone’s ‘Spirit’ Exit
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Fury: ‘Dirty PR Games’ and a Young Actor?
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is at the center of a brewing controversy surrounding his upcoming Prabhas-starrer, ‘Spirit’. After Deepika Padukone reportedly backed out of the film, Vanga took to X (formerly Twitter) to publicly vent his frustration, accusing an unnamed individual of playing ‘dirty PR games’ and ‘putting down a younger actor’.
The filmmaker, known for his intense and action-packed films like ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Animal’, didn’t explicitly name Deepika Padukone, but the timing and context of his post strongly suggest she’s the target of his ire.
The ‘Spirit’ Saga: A Story of Alleged Fallout
While Deepika was initially rumored to be paired with Prabhas in ‘Spirit’, reports surfaced recently claiming she had opted out due to disagreements over her remuneration, working hours, and even comments about her prioritizing family over work.
Triptii Dimri, who co-starred with Vanga in ‘Animal’, was subsequently announced as Deepika’s replacement. The actress expressed her excitement on social media, adding fuel to the fire surrounding the perceived behind-the-scenes drama.
Vanga’s Explosive X Post: A Cryptic Accusation
Vanga’s X post was a series of pointed statements, seemingly directed at Deepika. He expressed his disappointment in the alleged leak of his film’s plot and accused the unnamed individual of betraying his trust. He questioned their motives, suggesting their actions were not in line with feminist ideals.
His post concluded with a Hindi phrase, “Aisa karo…. Agli baar poori kahani bolna… kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha (Next time, tell them the complete story because I don’t really care.),” further emphasizing his frustration and disregard for the individual in question.
What’s Next for ‘Spirit’?
While Deepika Padukone has yet to publicly respond to the allegations, ‘Spirit’ continues to gather momentum. Pinkvilla reported that Vanga is aiming for an ‘A-rated’ action thriller, a departure from the initial ‘cop action thriller’ description.
With a star-studded cast, a talented director, and a touch of controversy, ‘Spirit’ is sure to be a film to watch out for.
