Mumbai: Actress Triptii Dimri, who rose to fame with her performance in Animal, has officially confirmed that she will be starring in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit, headlined by Prabhas. The announcement comes after much speculation surrounding Deepika Padukone’s reported exit from the project.
In a recent interview, Triptii opened up about the much-talked-about casting change and her excitement to be part of Vanga’s cinematic world. “Yes, I’m doing the film and I’m really excited about it,” Triptii said, breaking her silence on the matter. While she refrained from revealing too many details about her character or the storyline, the actress expressed her gratitude and enthusiasm about joining such a high-profile project.
Triptii, who became a household name after playing Zoya in Animal, directed by Vanga himself, has quickly climbed the ranks of Bollywood’s rising stars. Her chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor and impactful screen presence won her both critical acclaim and massive fan following. Her collaboration once again with Vanga has only intensified the excitement among fans.
Spirit, which stars pan-India actor Prabhas in the lead role, is expected to be a gripping action drama with intense emotional depth—something Sandeep Reddy Vanga is known for in his storytelling. The film marks Vanga’s next directorial venture after the blockbuster success of Animal, and is being produced by T-Series.
Initially, Deepika Padukone was rumoured to play the female lead in Spirit, but she reportedly exited the project due to scheduling conflicts. Triptii Dimri’s entry is being seen as a strong replacement, with fans eager to see how she pairs opposite Prabhas.
Although the filmmakers are yet to make an official announcement with full cast details, production on Spirit is expected to begin soon. With Triptii now confirmed as the leading lady, anticipation is building for what promises to be another emotionally charged and visually powerful film from Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
As Triptii continues to shine with each new role, Spirit could mark yet another milestone in her rising career.
