Director Sandeep Reddy, Deepika Padukone, upcoming film Spirit

Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga directly confronted an unnamed actress for playing what he called “dirty PR games” after she abruptly walked out of his upcoming film Spirit, starring Prabhas. Although he didn’t mention Deepika Padukone by name, his intense message on X (formerly Twitter) clearly pointed toward her. Deepika’s sudden withdrawal from the project created a wave of online buzz, and Sandeep’s recent post has added more fuel to the controversy.

Vanga Accuses Actress of Breaking Trust and Launching PR Attacks

In his post, Vanga expressed his sense of betrayal. He said he narrates stories to actors with complete faith, treating the bond as a personal agreement. Referring indirectly to Deepika, he stated, “There is an unsaid NDA between us… But by doing this, you’ve ‘DISCLOSED’ the person that you are.” He accused the actress of trying to undermine a younger actor and disrespect his story, actions he strongly criticized.

‘You Will Never Get It’ – Vanga’s Words Stir Public Reactions

Sandeep didn’t hold back as he questioned the actress’s stand on feminism. He wrote, “You didn’t get it. You won’t get it. You will never get it.” He ended the message with sarcasm, using a popular Hindi saying to drive his point and included the hashtag #dirtyPRgames, hinting that her team spread negative stories.

Deepika Exits, Triptii Dimri Joins: Fans Spot the Timing

Reports claim that Deepika Padukone left Spirit because she felt uncomfortable with its A-rated content, tight schedule, and Telugu dialogues. Sources also reveal that she asked for shorter work hours and a profit share, which clashed with Vanga’s vision for the film.

Just a day after Deepika’s exit, Vanga announced Triptii Dimri as the new female lead. Triptii previously worked with him in Animal, which turned into a massive hit. Her quick entry into Spirit raised many eyebrows, especially because it coincided with reports criticizing Deepika’s reasons for walking away.

Social Media Reacts, But Deepika Remains Silent

Fans and industry insiders have jumped into the discussion as Vanga’s post went viral. Many now wait for Deepika’s response, but she has stayed completely silent. Her silence has only made the situation more curious and controversial.

Spirit Gains Buzz Before Shooting Begins

Spirit marks Vanga’s first film with Prabhas and promises to deliver a gripping action-drama. After the success of Kabir Singh and Animal, fans expect another emotional and high-energy movie. However, the film has already grabbed headlines—not for its story, but for the behind-the-scenes drama.

The off-screen tension has already made Spirit one of the most talked-about upcoming films in Indian cinema. Whether this controversy will boost or hinder the film’s journey remains to be seen.
