Deepika Padukone faces renewed online discussion after she likes an Instagram post that criticizes Sandeep Reddy Vanga amid a dispute linked to his brother’s claims about the film *Spirit*. According to reports, the posts refer to Padukone’s earlier exit from the project and tie it to negotiations over a profit-share arrangement.
The reports state that Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s brother has alleged Padukone wanted a 10% profit share. This allegation is presented as the basis for the controversy that has circulated online, with some commentators and social media users questioning whether gender played a role in the negotiations or how the situation is discussed.
Both outlets note that attention has shifted back to the casting after Padukone’s departure. The role, it is reported, has been taken over by Triptii Dimri. Beyond the central claim about the 10% figure, the coverage emphasizes that the renewed controversy is largely driven by social media activity and reposted allegations rather than new official statements.
