Deepika Padukone made headlines due to her decision to part ways with Sandeep Reddy Vanga‘s film Spirit, following a disagreement over her requests. It seems she sought a specific shooting schedule and a remuneration of 40 crore rupees, which the director of Animal found difficult to accommodate, leading to her being replaced. Now, Ajay Devgn has voiced his support for Deepika, and more recently, renowned filmmaker Mani Ratnam has also backed her stance, describing the demand as a ‘complete requirement’.
What did Mani Ratnam say to support Deepika Padukone?
At present, Mani Ratnam is actively marketing his forthcoming film titled “Thug Life.” In a conversation with News 18, the director voiced his solidarity and backing for Deepika Padukone amidst the recent controversy involving her and Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
The director expressed his viewpoint that it’s only natural for Bajirao Mastani actress to make such a request, as he himself agrees with its legitimacy. Furthermore, he spoke on behalf of all filmmakers, stating that they always keep these factors in mind during casting. He emphasized that it’s not excessive but rather an essential requirement. In his words, “I believe this should be the top priority; you must recognize it, comprehend it, and adapt accordingly.
Why did Deepika Padukone walk out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit?
Word got around that Deepika seemed very taken with Spirit’s plot and how Sandeep Reddy Vanga crafted her character in the movie. Not long afterwards, fans leaped for joy when reports emerged that she had agreed to star in the Prabhas film. However, their joy didn’t last as news of her departure from the project quickly spread like a wildfire.
According to reports, the actress who played Bajirao Mastani chose to leave the project because the producers and directors weren’t able to fulfill her financial requirements and scheduling needs. It seems Deepika asked for a fee of 40 crore rupees from the production team, but they were only willing to offer 20 crore. Moreover, she requested a flexible schedule that would allow her to balance her professional commitments with her personal life.
Since the initial talks about the role were not proving successful, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga requested Deepika Padukone to study Telugu and both act in and dub the film herself. However, due to these demands and other circumstances, it’s reported that Deepika chose to leave the project.
The actress has been receiving unwavering support for her stand, while being replaced by Triptii Dimri in Spirit.”)
