Deepika Padukone’s reported exit from Spirit came as a major surprise to the film industry. The actress, who was expected to star opposite Prabhas, soon found herself at the centre of speculation, with reports suggesting that her demand for shorter working hours may have played a role. Around the same time, the makers of Kalki 2898 AD also confirmed that she would not be returning for the sequel.
As debates intensified, the industry appeared divided. While some defended the new mother’s decision to seek a more balanced work schedule, others seemed to make indirect remarks about her stance.

Amid all the chatter, Kangana Ranaut stepped forward to support Deepika Padukone.
Kangana Says Deepika Has Earned The Right Kangana strongly backed Deepika amid the controversy over her reported demand for an eight-hour workday. According to the actress, someone of Deepika’s stature — and a new mother at that — has every right to set her own conditions.
