Mumbai, Oct 24 (NationPress) - Celebrating Prabhas’ 46th birthday on Thursday, the creators of the much-awaited film "Spirit" have released the official announcement on social media. Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, who was originally cast in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's direction, expressed her feelings regarding the first preview of the film. She stated that despite her sadness, she found the glimpse to be ‘wonderful’.
Deepika shared on social media, “I am sad but wonderful video Sandeep Reddy and happy birthday #Prabhas sir.”
For those unaware, Deepika has been replaced by Triptii Dimri in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's project. The reasons behind her exit remain unclear, but reports suggest that the director was put off by Deepika's extensive list of demands, which allegedly included limited working hours, a substantial salary, and a cut of the film's profits.
Returning to the announcement, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga wished Prabhas a happy birthday by revealing the first 'sound story' from "Spirit". He took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share the audio teaser of the film in five Indian languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The approximately one-minute audio teaser featured a jailer and his assistant discussing an ex-cop currently in their custody. The jailer was heard instructing his assistant on how to handle the prisoner just like any other inmate. While the assistant suggested maintaining decorum, the jailer ordered him to strip the prisoner, search him, and send him for medical tests.
In his social media post, Sandeep Reddy Vanga wrote, “Happy Birthday Prabhas anna. Presenting a ‘SOUND-STORY’ in five Indian languages straight from the heart, for every fan who’s felt his (sic).”
Additionally, the clip confirmed the main cast of the film, including Triptii Dimri, Kanchana, Prakash Raj, and Vivek Oberoi, alongside Prabhas.
