Deepika Padukone has reportedly exited from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial ‘Spirit’ and has been replaced by Triptii Dimri. The filmmaker has now shared a cryptic post on X in which he talked about an actor playing dirty PR games and putting down a younger actor. Netizens think that Sandeep directed this post to Deepika Padukone.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga wrote on X, “When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You’ve ‘DISCLOSED’ the person that you are…. Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for ? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn’t get it. You won’t get it. You will never get it. Aisa karo…. Agli baar poori kahani bolna… kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha. #dirtyPRgames I like this kahawath very much 🙂 खुंदक में बिल्ली खंबा नोचे !”
