Triptii Dimri to join Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit amid Deepika's exit

Actor Triptii Dimri is set to star opposite Prabhas in the highly anticipated pan-India film 'Spirit', directed by 'Animal' filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

The announcement comes in the wake of reports confirming Deepika Padukone’s exit from the project. According to sources close to the production, creative differences and scheduling demands led to the parting of ways between Padukone and the filmmakers. Allegedly, Deepika had quoted a fee in the range of 30 - 40 crore, requested an 8-hour workday, and declined to dub for the Telugu



version. These were the factors that reportedly led to a fallout with the director.

With the search for a new leading lady underway, Triptii Dimri, who shot to fame with her performance in 'Animal', has now officially joined 'Spirit' as the female lead opposite Prabhas. This marks her first on-screen pairing with the 'Baahubali' actor.

Confirming this, Dimri posted on Instagram writing, “Still sinking in. So grateful to be trusted with this journey. Thank you @sandeepreddy.vanga honoured to be a part of your vision.”
