For the past several days, the news has been dominated by rumors of Deepika Padukone's departure from Spirit. According to sources, she submitted a condition throughout the shoot that would limit her working hours to eight each day. In an interview with News18, where he defended Deepika by stating that it is perfectly acceptable to make such demands if one is in a position to do so, Mani Ratnam has now weighed in on the current discussion about shift hours and unprofessional requests.

What Mani Ratnam stated

During the talk, Mani Ratnam stated, "I think it is a rightful demand," in anticipation of the debut of his newest movie, Thug Life. I'm happy that she's in a position to request it. When you cast, I believe you will take that into account as a filmmaker. It's not an unreasonable request, but rather a need. I believe that should come first. You must accept that, comprehend it, and make plans to deal with it."

Additional information

The actor Ajay Devgn had previously backed Deepika on this issue, stating, "It's not that it's not going down well with people. The majority of genuine filmmakers won't find it to be a problem. In addition to this, most people have begun working eight-nine hour shifts, in addition to being a mother and working for eight hours.

It was said that Deepika left Spirit a few days ago when her requests were not granted. The subject has not been addressed by the actor herself. Later, it was formally revealed that Triptii Dimri will play Prabhas's co-star in the movie. Sandep Reddy Vanga and Tripti have previously collaborated on Animal.

The film's script has been leaked to the media, according to a post by Sandeep Reddy Vanga on X. "When I narrate a story to an actor, I have 100% faith," he penned, exposing unethical PR tactics. We have an unspoken NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, you've "DISCLOSED" who you are. Does your feminism stand for putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story?

Spirit is expected to hit the floors soon. T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures are the producers.
