New Delhi: There has been a lot of discussion around ‘Animal’ director Sandeep Wanga Reddy’s upcoming venture ‘Spirit’ around the women’s lead casting. Earlier, the buzz was strong that Deepika Padukone could be finalized for the lead role, but it seems that the two were not worked and now Triptai Dimri has officially replaced the top star in ‘Spirit’. However, it does not end here.
The filmmaker took his X account (formerly known as Twitter) and left a cryptic tweet reading: When I tell an actor a story, I believe 100%. There is a Unsaid NDA (non -disclosure agreement) among us. But by doing this, you have revealed the person you are …. put a small actor down and to exclude my story? Is it standing for your feminism? As a filmmaker, I worked for years behind my craft and for me, filmmaking is everything. You did not get this. You will not get this. You will never find it. Do Aisa …. Next time poor Kahni Bolna… Kyanki Muje Jara Bhuh Farak Nahi Padtha. #DirtyprGames I like this very much 🙂

Although he did not name anyone, many users in the comment section admitted that he was talking about Deepika Padukone.
Sandeep Wanga Reddy’s tweet came after a Pinkvilla report, in which sources revealed the details about the story of the soul. It mentioned how the film is a Quintayant Telugu entertainer, but the director will add to the ‘A-Retured Action’ twist. The report also shared how the film would also have violent action scenes and bold sequences.
Interestingly, Triptty and Reddy have worked together in ‘Animal’.
Spirit will feature Prabhas and Tripipai Dimri in the lead roles. The film is supported by T-series and Bhadrakali paintings.
