“Some nonsense speculation. I’m not aware of it,” Prakash Raj told SCREEN. He’ll still be seen in a key role alongside Prabhas, Triptii Dimri, Vivek Oberoi, and other cast members in Spirit. It’s co-produced by Vanga’s Bhadrakali Pictures and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series in their first collaboration after the 2023 blockbuster family crime drama Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor.

Deepika Padukone’s SPIRIT Exit

Last year, Spirit made headlines after the controversial exit of Deepika Padukone from the film. Before the film went on floors, she had a disagreement with the makers over shooting more than eight hours every day. She wanted to keep a work-life balance, particularly after the birth of her and husband Ranveer Singh’s daughter Dua Padukone the year before.

After Padukone was replaced by Triptii, who had her major breakthrough with a key role in Vanga’s Animal. The filmmaker took to X to slam Padukone for spreading misinformation and maligning a younger actor like Triptii. However, he only alluded to Padukone, without naming her in the tweet, claiming that she’s playing “dirty PR games”.
