Deepika Padukone created quite a stir with her recent step of moving away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit over her demands. The actress reportedly asked for a fixed schedule and Rs 40 crore in remuneration, which did not go well with the Animal director, resulting in her replacement. Well, Ajay Devgn recently supported Deepika, and now, the recent name to get added to this list is Mani Ratnam, who called her demand an ‘absolute necessity’.
What did Mani Ratnam say to support Deepika Padukone?
Mani Ratnam is currently busy promoting his upcoming movie Thug Life. Talking to News 18 about the recent Deepika Padukone and Sandeep Reddy Vanga row, the director backed the actress and stood in her support.
He stated that, according to him, it is a rightful demand, and he is glad that the Bajirao Mastani actress is in a position to ask for it. He further spoke on behalf of all the filmmakers and said that “one will always take these things into consideration when casting.” It is not an unreasonable thing to ask, but an absolute necessity. “I think that should be the priority. You have to acknowledge that, understand it, and work around it,” revealed the director.
Why did Deepika Padukone walk out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit?
The reports of Deepika being quite impressed with Spirit’s storyline and how Sandeep Reddy Vanga developed her character in the film started making the rounds. Soon after that, fans were left jumping with joy after there were reports of her giving a nod to the Prabhas starrer. But their happiness was short-lived as soon after, the news of her stepping out spread like wildfire.
As per sources, the Bajirao Mastani actress decided to part ways from the venture owing to failure to meet her demands by the producers and directors. The details that came out referred to that Deepika had apparently quoted a remuneration of Rs 40 crore from the makers while they were only interested in paying her Rs 20 crore. Additionally, the actress wanted her schedule fixed, providing her with adequate time for her personal life.
As the initial negotiations itself was failing to hold ground, Sandeep Reddy Vanga asked the actress to learn Telugu for the role to act and dub herself. Owing to all these factors, Deepika Padukone reportedly walked out of the project.
The actress has been receiving unwavering support for her stand after being replaced by Triptii Dimri in Spirit.
