 "Amid quitting Sandeep Vanga's 'Spirit' over working hours, Deepika Padukone to shoot for Allu Arjun's film for only 100 days: Reports")
Sandeep Reddy Vanga shocked everyone with his viral post where he slammed actress Deepika Padukone after her exit from his upcoming movie Spirit featuring Prabhas. Taking to X, the Animal helmer shared a cryptic tweet. The director didn’t mention Deepika Padukone but slammed her for her ‘dirty PR games’ and revealing some parts of her film’s story.
But now, as per a report by Mid-day, the actress has quit her home production The Intern opposite Amitabh Bachchan too, and a new leading lady will be cast opposite the legend. She will now serve as the producer on the remake.
But the actress is definitely on board for Allu Arjun and Atlee’s next magnum opus. A source told Pinkvilla, “Deepika Padukone has begun prep for the film and is expected to join the set in the month of November 2025. She has allotted 100 days for the film shoot and is expected to can dramatic and action-packed sequences through the journey. It’s Deepika Padukone like never before, along with Allu Arjun. The team has designed a special look of a warrior as well as weapons for Deepika’s character.”
The source added, “AA22xA6 will be shot until September 2026, and the makers are aiming to bring it on the big screen towards the second half of 2027. Allu Arjun has blocked his calendar exclusively for Atlee’s next and is passionately giving it all to the most prestigious film of his career.”
The Spirit fiasco
“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," Vanga wrote.
