Despite the lack of confirmation, the intensity of the rumours has created a major stir, especially given the high expectations surrounding the film. Prakash Raj’s reported exit comes shortly after Deepika Padukone’s departure from Spirit, which had also grabbed headlines. At the time, reports suggested that Deepika had certain conditions, including 8-hour work shifts, a substantial fee, and a share in the film’s profits, which allegedly did not align with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s vision for the project.
