Deepika Padukone to star with Shah Rukh Khan in King after Spirit fallout

Deepika Padukone is making headlines with a significant career shift after reportedly being dropped from the film 'Spirit' due to creative and professional differences with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

The fallout was hinted at by Vanga himself, who criticized an unnamed actress for breaching trust and violating a non-disclosure agreement, widely believed to be a reference to Padukone.

"On Monday, Vanga on X lashed out at an unnamed actor for showing her 'true colours' by violating an unsaid non-disclosure agreement about his film Spirit," reports noted.

Despite the controversy, Padukone remains focused on her career and authenticity. She recently emphasized the importance of inner peace and truthful decision-making amid industry rumors, stating, "What keeps me balanced is just being truthful, authentic. Whenever I'm faced with complicated or difficult situations, to be able to listen to my inner voice and just stand by decisions that really give me a lot of peace is when I feel most in equilibrium."

Looking ahead, Padukone is set to star alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the highly anticipated action drama 'King,' which will also introduce Suhana Khan to Bollywood audiences.

This project marks a new chapter for Padukone, signaling her continued prominence in the industry despite recent setbacks.
