Director's Cryptic Post Sparks Buzz
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his intense storytelling, posted a cryptic message on social media. Many believe it was about Deepika, though he didn’t mention her name directly. His message hinted at a breach of trust. “When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100 per cent faith. There is an unsaid NDA between us. But by doing this, you've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are...”
He also added, "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."
Triptii Dimri Replaces Deepika
Soon after the rumours spread, reports confirmed that Triptii Dimri had replaced Deepika in the film. Triptii had earlier worked with Vanga in 'Animal'. The announcement sparked excitement among fans.
