However, her dazzling appearance comes amidst a brewing controversy surrounding her reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit. The filmmaker recently posted a cryptic message on social media, which many interpreted as a veiled criticism of Deepika.
In the post, Vanga spoke of a “broken unsaid NDA” and implied a breach of trust, stating, “When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100 per cent faith… But by doing this, you’ve ‘DISCLOSED’ the person that you are.” He also questioned the feminist values of the unnamed actress and lamented the dismissal of a younger actor.
While he didn’t name anyone, the timing of the post coincided with reports of Deepika stepping away from Spirit. The role has now been officially recast with Triptii Dimri, who previously worked with Vanga in Animal. Dimri expressed her excitement about the new role, writing, “Still sinking in… So grateful to be trusted with this journey. Thank you @sandeepreddy.vanga…Honoured to be a part of your vision.”
As Deepika continues to dominate headlines for both her fashion and film choices, fans are watching closely to see how the story unfolds—both on the red carpet and behind the scenes in Bollywood.
