Deepika Padukone Reacts To Pranay Reddy Vanga’s Explosive Comments On Her Spirit Exit; Likes Post Calling Out Vanga Brothers’ ‘Misogyny’
The controversy over Deepika Padukone and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit exit has resurfaced after Vanga’s brother, Pranay Reddy Vanga, made fresh allegations about their reported disagreement. He claimed that Deepika had asked for 10% of the film’s profits, along with an eight-hour workday, demands that Sandeep was reportedly unwilling to accept. The disagreement is believed to have contributed to Deepika’s exit from the project, following which details of the Spirit storyline were allegedly leaked. Amid the renewed controversy, Deepika has seemingly reacted to a viral Instagram post criticising Sandeep and highlighting what it described as a “male ego” crisis. On Friday, journalist Janvi Manchanda shared a lengthy note on Instagram through a carousel post. One excerpt from the post read, “Judging by the meltdown, you’d think she asked for the entire film and Vanga estate. Sounds like we have a full-blown male-ego crisis on our hands. A woman rejected a deal, and misogyny couldn’t handle a no.”
