Jr NTR & Ajay Devgn's costar Madhoo reacts to Deepika Padukone's exit from Prabhas-Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit: 'If she wants 8-hour work...'
Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit featuring Prabhas continues to garner headlines, as many celebs are coming out in support of the actress, who wants to give importance to work-life balance after embracing motherhood.
Veteran actress known for movies like Phool Aur Kaante, Diljale, Roja and Nannaku Prematho among others, said it was Deepika Padukone's personal choice and there is nothing to debate about it.
'It is not about having conflicts and constantly fighting. Everything in life is negotiation, and one must know their worth," Madhoo said while talking to News18. 'Deepika is a new mother; she needs time, and she asked for it. The person on the other side didn't accept, so that didn't work out. If Deepika wanted the movie so bad, and was willing to make other arrangements, she would have accepted it—but she did not, and that's her personal choice. So, I don't see a big reason for debate," she added.

Sharing how other filmmakers will accommodate Deepika Padukone's 8-hour work shift request, Madhoo said, 'I ask for something, you don't want to give me, and then you let me go. And that's it. That's the way I see this situation. If she wants 8-hour work, there are other people who would be able to willing to take her on that call. And that deal offer will materialize. This deal didn't materialize. Because we negotiate every day on a certain project. Some people pay, some people don't' pay. And when you want it very badly, you come down. When you don't want it, you say 'Sorry I am not doing it.' It's a personal choice. It's a negotiation."
Meanwhile, Deepika recently signed Allu Arjun's biggie, which is directed by Atlee of Jawan fame. Titled AA22 x A6, the sci-fi actioner is bankrolled by Kalanithi Maran under the banner of Sun Pictures.

In a high-stakes showdown for the Women's World Championship, Naomi stepped into the triple threat match against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley with her title on the line—but not exactly with urgency. Early on, the reigning champ kept her distance as the two challengers tangled. That strategy didn't last long. Sky and Ripley, realizing the odds weren't in their favor individually, briefly joined forces to draw Naomi into the fight. The uneasy alliance quickly unraveled. In a scramble for control, Ripley accidentally caught Sky with a stiff boot, breaking the momentum and giving Naomi exactly the opening she needed. From that moment on, Naomi took command. Whether it was Ripley's raw power or Sky's lightning-quick offense coming her way, Naomi had an answer for everything. She moved with precision and confidence, picking her moments and outmaneuvering both opponents. The match turned into a showcase—not just of her athleticism, but of her ring IQ and composure under pressure.

Prabhas Dances to ‘Ek Niranjan' With Rana Daggubati In Throwback Baahubali BTS Clip; Anushka Shetty Joins In
Last Updated: Celebrate Friendship Day with a viral Baahubali BTS video featuring Prabhas dancing to Ek Niranjan with Rana Daggubati. Anushka Shetty also makes a special appearance. In a delightful blast from the past, a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of Baahubali has gone viral—and it's as heartwarming as it is hilarious. Shared on the official Instagram handle of the Baahubali franchise on August 3, 2025, to mark Friendship Day, the video features superstar Prabhas letting loose and dancing to the title track of his 2009 film Ek Niranjan. Wearing his royal Baahubali costume, Prabhas can be seen performing the iconic hook step of Ek Niranjan, while also singing along to the track with full gusto. His infectious energy, combined with a touch of goofiness, makes for a moment that fans are calling 'pure gold." Joining him in the clip is co-star Rana Daggubati, who is clearly enjoying the impromptu performance just as much. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Baahubali (@baahubalimovie) Adding to the charm of the video, actress Anushka Shetty—dressed as Devasena—enters the frame, exchanging smiles and a few words with Prabhas, capturing the camaraderie that defined the making of this cinematic epic. The caption on the video reads, 'Every day on set felt like #FriendshipDay," perfectly encapsulating the bond shared by the cast. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, Ek Niranjan featured Prabhas opposite Kangana Ranaut, with Sonu Sood and the late Mukul Dev in supporting roles. Though not as monumental as Baahubali, the film remains a fan favorite, especially for its catchy soundtrack. As for the Baahubali franchise, helmed by SS Rajamouli, it stands tall as one of the most successful film series in Indian cinema. Prabhas took on the dual roles of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, with Rana Daggubati playing the formidable antagonist Bhallaladeva, and Anushka Shetty as the fierce and graceful Devasena. The ensemble also included powerhouses like Ramya Krishnan and Sathyaraj. Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) changed the face of Indian cinema, with the latter holding the title of highest-grossing Indian film for years—until the arrival of Pushpa 2: The Rule. On the work front, Prabhas is now preparing for his upcoming release The RajaSaab, a romantic horror comedy set to hit theatres on December 5, 2025.
