Whispers from the industry suggest a significant change in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film, with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun reportedly no longer attached to the project.
While an official announcement remains pending, recent claims by insiders indicate that the movie, which Allu Arjun reportedly signed last year with the Animal director, has been shelved, leading to the actor’s alleged exit.
Further fuel to these rumors is the suggestion that Jr NTR is now a strong contender to step into the role previously intended for Allu Arjun. This development follows closely on the heels of another reported cast change by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Weeks prior, Deepika Padukone was also said to have been removed from the Prabhas-starrer Spirit.
Industry reports at the time pointed to her specific demands—including an eight-hour workday, a substantial salary, and a share in the film’s profits—as points of contention with the director. It is believed that Padukone, who recently became a mother, is aiming to strike a balance between her professional commitments and personal life by seeking reduced working hours.
