Prakash Raj on Spirit exit

Prakash Raj is known to be a temperamental actor and has landed in controversies at various points in his career. Not many know that he has even been dropped from a few films in the past due to his attitude.

Over the last two days, news broke out that Prakash Raj was removed from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, which features Prabhas and Tripti Dimri in the lead roles.

Social media was abuzz with reports claiming that Prakash Raj and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga had an argument over a particular scene in the film. What reportedly started as a small discussion allegedly escalated into a major disagreement, leaving the director furious. Soon, reports surfaced stating that Prakash Raj had been ousted from the film and would no longer be part of the cop drama.

However, as per the latest update from Hindustan Times, Prakash Raj has broken his silence on the controversy and clarified that there is no truth to these claims. Dismissing the rumours, he reportedly said, “These are nonsense speculations. I am not aware of any such news,” while speaking to HT City.

The shooting of Spirit is currently underway at a risk-based set in Hyderabad, with the supporting cast taking part in the schedule. Prakash Raj’s association with the film had earlier made headlines when a teaser was released featuring his powerful voiceover, which introduced the world of Spirit. This created strong buzz, as Prakash Raj is a National Award-winning actor who adds depth to every project he is associated with.

After reports of his alleged exit surfaced, the hype around Spirit only increased. Now that Prakash Raj himself has cleared the air, things appear to have returned to normal. Spirit is a cop drama being made on a massive scale and is scheduled to hit screens on March 5, 2027.

The first-look poster received a strong response, and fans are pinning high hopes on this film for Prabhas’s comeback.
