All about Spirit: Release date, controversies, and more
Spirit will feature Prabhas in a fierce and intense role. The highly anticipated film, which was officially announced in 2021, is currently in the pre-production stage.
For the unversed, recently, Triptii Dimri was announced as the female lead of the film after reports of Deepika Padukone walking out of the project emerged. Later, Sandeep Reddy Vanga took an indirect dig at the Pathaan actress for leaking certain aspects of the film. He stated, "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".
As per reports, Deepika allegedly requested an 8-hour workday, which translates to only 6 hours of actual shoot time. She also demanded a hefty fee of Rs 20 crore for her role and a percentage of her film's profits. She even refused to deliver her dialogues in Telugu.
Interestingly, this pan-India project will mark Triptii Dimri and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's second collaboration after Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor. They will also be working together on the sequel to Animal as well.
