The Deepika Padukone controversy
Deepika Padukone was all set to reunite with Prabhas for ‘Animal’ director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next film Spirit. However, reports that have not been confirmed yet, suggest they may have to look for a replacement as she’s no longer a part of it.
A user on X commented stating why it happened. The comment read:
“Reasons for #SandeepReddyVanga Rejecting Deepika in #Spirit Film:
👉#DeepikaPadukone reportedly insisted on 8-hour shifts that barely allows for 6 hours of filming.
👉also demanded whooping 20 Crores for the project & also a share in profits, she allegedly refused to speak her Telugu lines.”
No confirmation about the same has been made yet.
