Amid Spirit controversy, Deepika Padukone reveals what kind of people she wants to collaborate with
Since the last few days, Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone has been in the news in association with Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit. Initially buzz suggested that Deepika was roped in opposite Prabhas. But she later walked out and Triptii Dimri was cast as the female lead. Soon there were rumours that Deepika opted out of Spirit because she was uncomfortable with bold scenes. This resulted in an angry tweet by Sandeep, which netizens guessed was an attack on DP. Well, amid the crazy controversy, Deepika has now revealed what kind of people she wants to collaborate with.

In a recent chat with Harper's Bazaar, Deepika Padukone was asked how she balances work schedule with her personal life. To this, the new mom replied, 'I just listen to my gut, to what feels right. I think it's easier said than done but I think it's when you shut out the noise around you and you just listen to your gut, I think the answers are always there. So I think, you know, wanting to collaborate with people that I know I'm going to have a good time working with, surrounding myself with family and friends and being authentic, I think is how I'm able to find my balance.'

On the work front, Deepika is out of Spirit but she does have another exciting project in her kitty. Reports suggest that the actor, who welcomed her daughter Dua Padukone Singh with husband Ranveer Singh last year, is all set to make her comeback on the silver screen with Shah Rukh Khan's next film King. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the project marks SRK's first ever film with his darling daughter Suhana Khan. Deepika is also expected to reunite with Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan in Kalki 2898 AD: Part 2, the much-awaited sequel to Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD (2024).

Amid Deepika Padukone quitting 'Spirit', Radhika Apte says film industry not 'conducive' to mothers: 'We don't get to see the child, it's really difficult to...'
Taking to X, the Animal helmer shared a cryptic tweet. The director didn't mention Deepika Padukone but slammed her for her dirty PR games read more Recently, Deepika Padukone made a lot of headlines after she quit Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit due to motherhood and a couple of other reasons. Now, in an interview, Radhika Apte has revealed how the industry is not conducive to working mothers. The actress said, 'I don't think they are. I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead… It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child. So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Taking to X, the Animal helmer shared a cryptic tweet. The director didn't mention Deepika Padukone but slammed her for her dirty PR games and revealing some parts of her film's story. 'When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are…Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it," Vanga wrote. Reasons why the actress quit Spirit There are three reasons that have been reported so far. One of them has to do with the fact that Deepika has just embraced motherhood as she now has her daughter Dua in her life. Here are the three reported reasons: Deepika Padukone reportedly insisted on 8-hour shifts that barely allows for 6 hours of filming. She also demanded whooping Rs 20 Crores for the project & also a share in profits, she allegedly refused to speak her Telugu lines. A new source says the film has a lot of bold scenes and maybe it was Padukone's discomfort that led to her exit. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
