Ajay Devgn backs eight-hour shifts for mothers amid reports of Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's ‘Spirit'
Actor Ajay Devgn backed the 8-hour shifts for mothers amid reports of Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Spirit. The film has been in the news lately after reports claimed that Deepika decided to walk away from the project due to certain working demands, including a request for an 'eight-hour workday.' While this sparked debate online, actor Ajay Devgn seems to have spoken in support of Deepika at the trailer launch of Maa, an upcoming horror film that stars Kajol in the lead. When asked about his views on the demands for an 8-hour shift, Devgn, without taking names, said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people. Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. Apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-to nine-hour shifts.' 'It's person to person, and I feel most of the industry understands this,' he added. Earlier, Deepika was expected to star opposite Prabhas in Spirit, a film backed by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures. The film is helmed by Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The makers confirmed that actress Triptii Dimri, who was also seen in Animal, has joined the cast of Spirit. Just a couple of days back, Vanga took to his X and dropped a fiery post. Though he did not name anyone directly, many believe Vanga was referring to Deepika Padukone, who reportedly stepped away from the project recently.

There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, you've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are.'

Actor Deepika Padukone's reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit has sparked intense speculation and debate in social media in the last few days. Several anonymous sources said it was the actor's 'unprofessional' demands that led to her exit, one of them being that she would not work more than eight hours a day. Now, actor Ajay Devgn has come out in support of Deepika in the matter when he was asked to comment on this at the trailer launch of Maa. (Also read: Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy Vanga row explained: Mudslinging & angry tweets over Triptii Dimri replacing DP in Spirit) Ajay was present at the trailer launch of Maa, the new horror thriller starring Kajol in the lead. He is one of the co-producers of the film. When a reporter asked Ajay to comment on the demands of 8-hour shift that have been doing the rounds of social media ever since Deepika's reported exit from Spirit, Ajay said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people. Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. And apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-nine hours shifts.' He went on to add, "It's person to person, and I feel most of the industry understands this." A post shared by HT City (@htcity) Deepika had been signed for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit opposite Prabhas earlier this year. This marked the actor's second Telugu pan-India project after Kalki 2898 AD, that also starred Prabhas. However, last week it was reported that she exited the film when her demands were not met. The actor herself has not commented on the matter. Later it was officially announced that Triptii Dimri has been cast opposite Prabhas in the film. Triptii has previously worked with Sandeep Reddy Vanga in Animal. Next, it was Sandeep Reddy Vanga who took to X to state that the script of the film has been leaked to the media. Without taking names, he called out dirty PR games and wrote, "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?" Spirit is produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures. It will feature Prabhas as a fierce and intense police officer. The film is currently in pre-production and is set to go on floors in 2025.

Who Is Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Wife Manisha Reddy? Know About Their Love Story
Last Updated: Sandeep Reddy Vanga's wife maintains a private Instagram profile, which her husband follows. Sandeep Reddy Vanga needs no introduction. The director is known for films like Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, and Animal. He is often accused of presenting women in his films in the wrong way and is also tagged as a misogynist by many. However, do you know who the director is married to? Learn about his love story here: Who Is Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Wife? Vanga is married to Manisha Reddy. The couple tied the knot in 2014 and has two children: a son named Arjun Reddy, after Vanga's debut film, and a daughter born in 2020. However, not many details about Vanga's wife are available to the public. She maintains a private Instagram profile, which her husband follows. Vanga rarely discusses his wife, clearly preferring to keep his personal and professional lives separate. However, after the release of his 2023 movie Animal, the director shared his wife's reaction to the Ranbir Kapoor starrer in an interview. Manisha felt there was too much bloodshed in the film. In another interview, Sandeep credited Manisha and his family for supporting him through difficult times, including financial challenges during his debut film. Interestingly, he even named his son after his first film, Arjun Reddy. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Upcoming Project: Spirit The director is currently working on his next movie, Spirit. It will star Prabhas and Triptii Dimri in the lead. Deepika Padukone was also a part of the film but she was removed by the director earlier this month. It was reported that her demands, including eight-hour workdays, a high salary, and a share in the film's profits, did not sit well with director Vanga. The Spirit is currently in the final scripting stage, with shooting set to begin in October this year, according to reports. While the story remains a secret, Pinkvilla reveals that Vanga is focusing on a high-octane action drama. Vanga reportedly spent six months developing the script to create a groundbreaking idea. Prabhas will reportedly undergo an intense physical transformation for the film. Sandeep Reddy Vanga has advised him to maintain a lean physique for his role as a cop. If all goes well, this action film, produced by T-series and Bhadrakali Pictures, will hit the big screens in 2027. First Published:
