Fake Deepika Padukone post misleads fans after Spirit audio teaser release; trolls exploit hype surrounding Prabhas’ upcoming film

After the makers of Spirit unveiled an explosive audio teaser in five languages, troll accounts targeting actress Deepika Padukone jumped on the bandwagon, attempting to capitalize on the hype by posting misleading comments online. A fake social media profile pretending to be Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone shared a reaction to Prabhas’ first look from Spirit. The post claimed that Deepika was ‘sad’ but found the teaser ‘wonderful.’ 

The viral post came from a fake account impersonating her, misleading fans online after Vanga unveiled the first audio teaser of Spirit, which was released in five Indian languages such as Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. “I am sad but wonderful video Sandeep Reddy and happy birthday #Prabhas sir,” the tweet read. For those who do not know, Deepika was replaced by Triptii Dimri in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next. 

Although the exact reason for her exit is not known, if the reports are to be believed, the director was discouraged by the long list of demands from Deepika, which reportedly included limited working hours, a significant paycheck, and a share in the film’s profits. 

Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga wished Prabhas on his birthday by dropping the first ‘sound story’ from Spirit. 

He took to his X (Earlier known as Twitter) handle and dropped the audio teaser of the film in five Indian languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
