Deepika Padukone reactivates attention around her departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film *Spirit* after she likes an Instagram post criticizing the filmmaker amid a renewed profit-share dispute. Multiple reports say the post relates to claims that she requested a 10% profit share, which has prompted fresh online debate.
According to NDTV, the controversy resurfaces after Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s brother discussed the matter publicly, saying Padukone wanted the stated profit share as part of the deal. Times of India similarly links the renewed discussion to reports about her reported 10% demand. Both outlets frame the renewed chatter as raising questions about gender dynamics in the industry, while social media users express support for Padukone.
Times of India also reports that the role associated with the project has moved forward with Triptii Dimri taking over, as *Spirit* continues to develop. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis, with some focusing on the social media reaction and others on the stated contractual figure and its implications.
