Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga Hits Out At 'Dirty PR Games' After Deepika Padukone's Exit From 'Spirit'

Hyderabad, May 27 - Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is once again in the media headlines after a fiery social media post, slamming the dirty PR games in the industry against him and his films. The post came after it was reported that actress Deepika Padukone had exited Vanga's next film Spirit and was replaced by Tripti Dimri for the same. ## Going by Vanga's post, it seems that some of the key details of the movie were leaked to the media and his post indirectly (without naming) slammed Deepika Padukone for breaching the code of trust. "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", the filmmaker said. ## Further, the Animal director said that for him, filmmaking is everything, which the ousted actor will never understand. He also seemingly taunts Deepika to leak the full story of the film next time, because he doesn't care. ## "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. Aisa karo.... Agli baar poori kahani bolna... kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha", he said. ## When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith.
