Deepika Padukone asked for a 10% share of net profits from Prabhas-starrer Spirit before she left the project, according to producer Pranay Reddy Vanga, brother of director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Greatandhra.com reports Pranay said the demand came after her recent successes and that the team felt it would not work for their budget.
Pranay told a television channel that the bigger issue was the alleged leak of story and character details to the media after nearly a year of discussions. M9.news reports Sandeep Reddy Vanga took the decision to remove her, believing the leaks came through her PR team. Tracktollywood.com notes Deepika herself has not confirmed this version of events.
Pranay also clarified that South Korean star Don Lee and actor Chiranjeevi are not part of Spirit, and that Prakash Raj has exited the film despite appearing in the voice teaser. Triptii Dimri has replaced Deepika as the female lead.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same core claim from Pranay Reddy Vanga: Deepika demanded 10% net profits. Greatandhra.com frames this as a budget issue, m9.news as a breach of trust over leaked details, and tracktollywood.com as a commercial negotiation that went unresolved. The only concrete number is the profit-share demand, no source provides Deepika's response or evidence of the leaks. The coverage is straight reporting of one side. Readers should watch for an official statement from Deepika's team or how Spirit and her Hollywood project Rakha perform at the box office.
