As reported by Pinkvilla, sources close to the project reveal that Sandeep Reddy Vanga was eager to have Deepika on board Spirit from the beginning. “Initially, Spirit was to begin by the end of 2024 and hence, Deepika had turned down the offer, as the timelines were not matching due to her pregnancy. However, with a delay in schedule, Vanga went back to Deepika with a revised shooting timeline, and the actress has now agreed to come on board Spirit,” the source shared.

The insider further added that this role is particularly significant for Deepika. “It’s the most well-written female part in the world of Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Deepika was surprised with the nuances in not just the script, but also her character. She has loved the part, and is excited to team up with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for the first time,” they said. Spirit will mark the reunion of Deepika Padukone and Prabhas after Kalki 2898 AD. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

“Deepika has packed her dates till the end of 2026. Apart from King and Spirit, she is in conversation for another mega-budget feature film, but is yet to sign the dotted lines,” the source shared. Additionally, there is a shift in the film’s cast plans. “So far, the two leads of Spirit are locked – Prabhas and Deepika Padukone. There is a change in other cast members, ranging from the antagonist duo, to some other key members. More updates on the cast is awaited,” the source concluded.

As per current plans, Spirit is set to begin filming in October 2025 with a release targeted for the first half of 2027. Besides Spirit, Deepika has projects like Kalki 2 and Pathaan 2 scheduled to start in late 2026 or early 2027.
