For a long time, Deepika Padukone was heavily rumored to be the top contender, and some reports even suggested she was almost finalized to star opposite Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Spirit." This pairing was exciting for fans, especially since they are already working together in "Kalki 2898 AD."
The "Dropped" Narrative: Recent reports now suggest that Deepika Padukone is no longer a part of "Spirit."
Reasons (Speculative): The reasons cited in various media outlets are often speculative and include:
Date Issues: Both Prabhas and Deepika are incredibly busy stars with packed schedules. Coordinating dates for a massive project like "Spirit" could have become a challenge.
Remuneration: While less commonly cited for this specific instance, sometimes financial negotiations can be a factor.
Creative Differences/Script Changes: This is always a possibility, though not heavily reported in this case.
Makers Looking for a Fresh Pairing (Beyond Kalki): While they are a hot pair, sometimes filmmakers opt for a different actress if the stars are already doing another big film together around the same time.
No Official Confirmation (Initially or Now): It's important to remember that Deepika Padukone was never officially announced as the lead for "Spirit" by the makers. Her involvement was based on strong industry buzz and media reports. Similarly, her "dropping" is also based on current reports, not an official statement from Sandeep Reddy Vanga or the production house (T-Series).
What Next for "Spirit"?
The hunt for a leading lady opposite Prabhas will continue or intensify.
"Spirit" is a highly anticipated film, touted as a high-octane action drama where Prabhas will reportedly play a police officer.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga is coming off the massive, albeit controversial, success of "Animal," so expectations are sky-high.
While Deepika Padukone was widely expected to be the female lead in Prabhas's "Spirit," directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, recent reports indicate she is no longer being considered for the role. We'll need to wait for an official announcement from the filmmakers to know who will ultimately star opposite Prabhas.
