Triptii Dimri reacts strongly against negative PR by supporting Deepika Padukone amidst the Spirit controversy

Triptii Dimri has made a quiet but impactful statement amid the ongoing controversy surrounding "Spirit," director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next film starring Prabhas. The actress, who replaced Deepika Padukone as the film's female lead, recently liked a social media reel that exposes "negative PR" and "false narratives" against Deepika. This action has ignited widespread discussion online, with many fans viewing it as Triptii's show of support for the "Pathaan" star.

Dolly Jain, a celebrity saree draper, is featured in the reel, praising Deepika Padukone's dedication and resilience. Dolly shared how Deepika performed the iconic "Nagada Sang Dhol" song from "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela" barefoot, despite the heavy 30 kg lehenga and intense choreography that caused her feet to bleed and swell. Triptii's simple "like" on the post garnered attention, appearing to counter the online negativity surrounding Deepika since she left "Spirit."

Deepika's Exit To Triptii's Casting

Deepika Padukone was initially cast to star opposite Prabhas in "Spirit," which would have been her first project with Sandeep Reddy Vanga. However, the actress reportedly withdrew due to unresolved salary negotiations and scheduling conflicts. Insiders suggest Deepika sought reduced working hours post-motherhood, a share of the film's profits, and a higher fee, conditions that were not compatible with the production's plans.

Following Deepika's departure, Triptii Dimri, known for her role in "Animal," was cast as the female lead. This reunion between Vanga and Triptii generated significant buzz and also sparked speculation about a potential disagreement between Deepika and the filmmaker.

Vanga's social media posts intensified the situation

Tensions rose when Sandeep Reddy Vanga posted a series of cryptic social media statements that were widely seen as indirect criticisms of Deepika. Without mentioning her name, the "Kabir Singh" director accused an actor of violating an "unsaid NDA" by sharing details about the film's story after the narration. He further wrote, "Putting ‹down a younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for?" and used the hashtag #dirtyPRgames.

Triptii's recent online activity appears to have altered the tone of the situation. By liking a post defending Deepika's professionalism, the "Animal" actress seems to be distancing herself from the project's surrounding negativity. Fans have applauded her for maintaining grace and mutual respect amidst the rumors and public tension between the director and Deepika.
