The announcement has left fans shocked—especially those who were looking forward to a romance-thriller featuring Prabhas and Deepika, despite their underwhelming chemistry in Kalki 2898 AD.

Many fans believe that Triptii has mostly been used as eye candy in films so far. Even in Animal, she played a secondary role—as Ranbir Kapoor’s extramarital love interest. To many, her replacing Deepika seems like a bit of a downgrade.
This unexpected casting decision has raised questions beyond just chemistry. Some are asking: is Vanga trying to cut costs by choosing a less expensive actress over Deepika?

If so, why worry about budget constraints when you have a box-office magnet like Prabhas, who can guarantee a ₹150 crore worldwide opening on day one?
Some feel Triptii isn’t yet at the level to star opposite a pan-India superstar like Prabhas. However, others are optimistic.
They believe Sandeep Vanga could bring out a fresh and compelling chemistry between the two and help Triptii break into the top tier of Bollywood actresses.
It will be interesting to see what this new pairing brings to the big screen. They might just surprise audiences with something unexpected.
Could Spirit be the film that launches Triptii Dimri into the big league? Or will losing a star like Deepika prove to be a costly gamble for the film? Time will tell.
