Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit' Starring Prabhas, Triptii Dimri
The film's production is moving forward with Triptii Dimri on board, and the team is working towards a 2026 release. The controversy surrounding Deepika Padukone's exit has not deterred the team, and they are focused on bringing this intense action drama to life. With Prabhas and Triptii Dimri leading the cast, 'Spirit' is expected to be a key film in the coming years.

Prabhas, known for his shy nature, will star alongside Triptii Dimri in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film 'Spirit', sparking speculation about whether he will break his no-kissing policy for the film. Director Vanga is known for incorporating bold and intimate scenes in his films, which may influence the content of 'Spirit'.
The film has been surrounded by controversy after Deepika Padukone reportedly exited the project due to discomfort with a scene. The director has allegedly unfollowed Deepika on Instagram, suggesting a rift between them. Vanga criticized an unnamed actress for disclosing details and undermining his story, accusing her of playing "dirty PR games".
Triptii Dimri has been confirmed as the new female lead, taking over the role for a significantly lower fee of Rs 4 crore, compared to Deepika's reported demands of Rs 20 crore. The film is an intense action drama with Prabhas playing a cop and is scheduled to go on floors later this year, aiming for a 2026 release. With Tripti's casting confirmed, Reddy Vanga is finalizing the remaining cast and crew for the ambitious project.
Fans of Prabhas and Triptii Dimri are excited about the film, which is expected to bring a fresh take to the cop genre, blending emotional intensity with action. The film's success will depend on how well the director balances the bold scenes with Prabhas' established boundaries, and how the chemistry between the lead actors translates on screen.
