Triptii Dimri has officially joined the cast of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's highly anticipated film Spirit, starring alongside Prabhas. The announcement came shortly after Deepika Padukone exited the project due to unmet demands, including a strict eight-hour workday, a Rs 20 crore remuneration, and refusal to dub in Telugu.
The film, described as an ambitious pan-world project, is set to begin shooting in 2025. Triptii Dimri, who gained national recognition with her role in Animal, has been hailed as the 'national crush of India' on social media, making her pairing with Prabhas a notable highlight.
"A powerful new on-screen pairing is here! We’re thrilled to welcome #TriptiDimri on board for our ambitious pan-world film #SPIRIT," the official statement on Instagram read.
Deepika Padukone's departure was reportedly due to her demands for a limited work schedule and high remuneration, which the production could not accommodate. This paved the way for Triptii Dimri's casting, which has generated excitement among fans and industry watchers alike.
"Deepika had asked for a strict eight-hour work day, Rs 20 crore as remuneration, and had declined to dub her lines in Telugu," reports noted.
With the shoot scheduled for 2025, anticipation is building for Spirit, which promises to be a significant addition to Indian cinema, combining star power and visionary direction from Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
