After Deepika Padukone stepped away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas’ much-anticipated film Spirit, the makers officially announced Triptii Dimri as the new leading lady. Triptii, who previously worked with Vanga in Animal, will now star opposite Prabhas in this big pan-India project. The announcement came from T-Series, the film’s production house, on Instagram.

They shared, “A powerful new on-screen pairing is here! We’re thrilled to welcome @tripti_dimri on board for our ambitious pan-world film #SPIRIT, starring @actorprabhas and directed by @sandeepreddy.vanga. Produced by #BhushanKumar, #SandeepReddyVanga and @pranayreddyvanga.” The shoot is set to begin in 2025, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.

Why Did Deepika Padukone Exit Spirit?

Deepika Padukone’s name was initially linked to Spirit, which created a lot of buzz. It would have been her first collaboration with Sandeep Reddy Vanga and second with Prabhas after their 2024 blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD. However, reports (via Jagran English) revealed that she exited due to demands the makers found difficult to meet. These included asking for a strict eight-hour workday, a fee of 20 crore, profit-sharing, and a refusal to dub her Telugu lines.
