India, May 28 -- Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, which marks the director's return to Telugu cinema, has been in the news for a while. The film, which stars Prabhas in the lead role, saw a major controversy when actor Deepika Padukone was replaced by actor Triptii Dimri recently. The matter has sparked a heated debate, with some criticising Deepika for allegedly leaking the film's plot and putting down Triptii, while others have criticised Sandeep and team Spirit for reportedly labelling Deepika's demands as "unprofessional".
