Amid Vanga-Deepika Row, The Spirit Filmmaker Shares Update On His Film Led By Prabhas And Triptii Dimri
Deepika Padukone and Sandeep Reddy Vanga were set to collaborate for the first time in the upcoming film Spirit. However, within a few weeks, the deal fell through after the actress and the filmmaker reportedly had disagreements over remuneration and working hours. Now Vanaga has shared an update on he schedule of his upcoming film Spirit, led by Prabhas, and Triptii Dimri, who replaced Deepika Padukone. In a conversation with Vijay Deverakonda and filmmaker Gowtam Tinnanuri on the Sithara Entertainments channel on YouTube, Vanga shared that the production for Spirit is all set to roll in September. He added that there are going to be back-to-back schedules and continuous shooting once the project begins. Some reports also suggest that the music of the film has already been completed in collaboration with Harshavardhan Rameshwar. Sandeep Reddy Vanga On Spirit's Box-Office Collections Earlier in a chat with Baradwaj Rangan for the Galatta Plus YouTube channel, Sandeep Reddy Vanga had mentioned how he believes the "Producer is safe". He had said, "I think because of the kind of budget they are putting, I feel the producer is safe. With Prabhas and my combination, along with satellite and digital rights, we can recover our budget there itself. If everything goes well with the teaser, trailer and songs pre-release and whatever we do to grab the audience's attention, opening day would be Rs 150 crore. It's a trade calculation. It should be worldwide or pan-India. Easily, it could be Rs 150 crore in one day for a film like this if the material is good." How The Controversy Started Deepika Padukone walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's much-anticipated film Spirit, after which Triptii Dimri was officially announced as the leading lady of the film. Deepika Padukone was tagged as "unprofessional" for her demands, which included working for a 6-hour shift with a newborn at home. The actress had also charged a massive fee of Rs 20 crore, along with a profit-sharing settlement and refused to deliver her dialogues in Telugu. Due to creative differences and "unreasonable" clauses, a replacement for Deepika Padukone was found. In A Nutshell Amid the wave of controversies that Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit found itself embroiled in, the filmmaker has finally shared an update on the release. Production is all set to roll in September.

In the newly released episode of Farah Khan's cooking show, she and her chef, Dilip, visited the stunning home of actor Radhika Madan. The beautifully designed, spacious residence immediately caught viewers' attention, and even left Farah Khan in awe. As she stepped into the house, Farah jokingly asked Radhika how she could afford such a luxurious place. 'Radhika, I have never seen such a big house in Mumbai. How much money are you making? Look at this place, it's stunning!' she exclaimed. Radhika responded that building the house took nearly four years. Coming from Delhi, she said she always dreamed of a big, airy space. 'I moved in four years ago, and back then, nothing was ready,' she shared. 'That year, I shot seven films, the earnings from those projects helped me repay the loan. At the same time, I was working on the interior decor bit by bit. Whatever I earned, I put into the house.'

Radhika's story of juggling multiple projects to fund her dream home is a testament to the unending hustle behind the glitz and glamour. She emerged from the television industry, where she said she would often work '56 hours non-stop or 48 hours non-stop.' Her comments come at a time when conversations around workload and labour conditions in the film industry are gaining momentum. Just recently, Deepika Padukone reportedly exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit over scheduling issues, after her request for an eight-hour workday wasn't accommodated. Several celebrities, including Saif Ali Khan, Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Neha Dhupia, Vikrant Massey, Pankaj Tripathi, and Mani Ratnam, have spoken in support of Deepika's demand for regulated work shifts. Recently, television actor Shweta Tiwari also spoke about working non-stop for several hours at a stretch. She said on Bharti Singh's podcast, 'Our industry was known for the fact that no one ever used to sleep or take rest. I used to shoot for 72 hours straight, without a break. After working a 30-day schedule, I used to get payment for 45 days, and that is because my first shift used to be from 7 in the morning to 7 in the evening, and the second shift was from 7 in the evening to 2 am in the morning.'
