Triptii Dimri's Reaction To 'Negative PR' Against Deepika Padukone After Spirit Controversy Is Unmissable
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the filmmaker behind Bollywood's controversial film Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, is again making headlines for his next with Prabhas. The news about the anticipated
collaboration between Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Spirit yet again hogs the limelight on social media, but not for good reasons. Triptii Dimri replaced Deepika Padukone in Spirit, and fans did not take the news as expected. She recently liked a social media reel that exposes 'negative PR' and 'false narratives' against Deepika and this has taken over the internet.
Triptii Dimri REACTS To 'Negative PR' Against Deepika Padukone
The reel features celebrity saree draper Dolly Jain, who praised Deepika Padukone's dedication and resilience. She talked about how during Nagada Sang Dhol shoot, actress did it all barefoot, enduring bleeding and swelling on her feet due to the heavy 30 kg lehenga and intense choreography but never complained. Triptii's simple 'like' on the post was enough to catch fans' attention, as it appeared to counter the online negativity surrounding Deepika since her exit from Spirit.
According to insiders, tensions began between Deepika and Vanga when the actress requested an 8-hour workday—effectively reducing her shooting time to around six hours a day—which was tagged as 'unprofessional' by the team. It got worse when Deepika reportedly demanded not only a substantial fee Rs 20 Crore but also a share in the film's profits. Sources also claimed she was unwilling to deliver her dialogues in Telugu, further complicating the shoot.

Soon after this, Vanga shared on Instagram, welcoming Triptii as his new female lead for Spirit.The controversy stirred further as Vanga took to X and took a jab at 'actors playing dirty PR games.' He wrote, "When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are...."Further, he added, "Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for ? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it. Aisa karo.... Agli baar poori kahani bolna... kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha. #dirtyPRgames I like this kahawath very much :-) खुंदक में बिल्ली खंबा नोचे !"Spirit is Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ambitious project, which will feature Prabhas and Triptii Dimri opposite each other.
