Amid renewed discussion over Deepika Padukone’s Spirit exit, the actress liked a viral Instagram post that criticised the controversy as a “male-ego crisis”. The development came after Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s brother Pranay alleged Deepika had sought an eight-hour workday and 10% of the film’s profits.

The controversy surrounding Deepika Padukone and Sandeep Reddy Vanga over her exit from Spirit has resurfaced, with Vanga's brother, Pranay Reddy Vanga, making fresh claims about their disagreement. Pranay has alleged that Deepika demanded 10% of the profits from Spirit in addition to her demand for an eight-hour work shift, and that Vanga was not on board with her demands, which ultimately led to her alleged exit from the project.

Deepika Padukone Reacts To Spirit Row

Now, Deepika has seemingly reacted to a viral Instagram post criticising Sandeep and calling out a 'male ego' crisis. On Friday, August 21, journalist Janvi Manchanda shared a long note in the form of a carousel post on Instagram.

An excerpt read, "Judging by the meltdown, you'd think she asked for the entire film and Vanga estate. Sounds like we have a full-blown male-ego crisis on our hands. A woman rejected a deal, and misogyny couldn't handle a no."
