Deepika Padukone & Vanga war: Here’s why Triptii Dimri is the ideal choice for Prabhas’ Spirit

In the wake of Deepika Padukone's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, reportedly due to disagreements over work conditions, Triptii Dimri has emerged as a compelling choice to star opposite Prabhas.
Amidst the ongoing controversy, here’s why Triptii is the best choice for the high-budget movie. 

Acting Prowess & Emotional Range

Triptii Dimri has demonstrated strong acting skills in emotionally demanding roles, notably in Bulbbul, Laila Majnu and Qala. Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s films (Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, Animal) often feature layered female characters who need to hold their own opposite dominant male leads. Triptii’s ability to convey vulnerability, strength, and inner conflict makes her a natural fit.

Fresh Pairing with Prabhas

The combination of Triptii and Prabhas is new and exciting — something that can bring a fresh dynamic on screen. Prabhas has already worked with many top actresses; casting someone newer but critically acclaimed like Triptii brings unpredictability and freshness to the film.

Aesthetic Fit for Vanga’s Vision

Sandeep Reddy Vanga is known for stylized, visually intense storytelling with emotionally complex relationships. Triptii’s ethereal screen presence and expressive face (as seen in Qala) suit the poetic and passionate tone that Vanga often crafts in his films.

Rising Star with Audience Connect

Triptii has gained significant popularity post-Animal (in which she appeared briefly but made a strong impact). Audiences are curious about her next major role, and pairing her with Prabhas in a high-stakes film only adds to the buzz. She’s on the cusp of stardom, and Spirit could be the breakout mainstream role she needs.

Balancing Mass Appeal with Class

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's films often aim for a balance of mass and class — raw energy with emotional depth. Triptii brings an air of sophistication and intensity that can complement Prabhas’ powerful screen presence, creating a strong emotional core rather than just a commercial pairing.
