Unbelievable! Did ‘Angry’ Sandeep Reddy Vanga REMOVE Allu Arjun From His Film Due To Co-Star Deepika Padukone’s Exit From Spirit?

Allu Arjun is said to be out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next big film. According to a report by Siasat.com, the Pushpa star had signed the project last year, but it’s now been shelved. Insiders claim that the actor has been removed, though there’s no official confirmation yet.

The rumour mill suggests Jr NTR might step in as the replacement. If true, this could bring a major change in one of Telugu cinema’s most anticipated director-actor pairings.

Deepika Padukone Fallout And Its Link To Allu Arjun Exit Reports

The timing of Pushpa 2 actor’s exit reports from Vanga’s film has raised eyebrows. Just weeks ago, Vanga dropped Deepika Padukone from his film Spirit with Prabhas. Reports claimed she wanted shorter work hours, a hefty fee, and profit sharing. Vanga didn’t seem pleased.

He later posted on X, “There is an unsaid NDA between us. But by doing this, you’ve ‘DISCLOSED’ the person that you are… You didn’t get it. You won’t get it. You will never get it.”

He ended his message with a Hindi proverb, “I like this kahawath very much  खुंदक में बिल्ली खंबा नोचे!” The comment added fuel to the speculation that Deepika’s exit wasn’t smooth - and might’ve triggered other casting shake-ups.

It is being speculated that ‘angry’ Vanga decided to replace Allu Arjun from his another him, only because Deepika co-stars him in A22xA6.

Allu Arjun And Deepika Padukone Team Up
