In a move that surprised both fans and film industry insiders, actress Deepika Padukone has officially confirmed her departure from the upcoming film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas. While speculation has been rife about the reasons behind her exit, Deepika recently broke her silence, choosing transparency over silence.
Speaking in a candid interview, the global icon said, “I believe in doing films that align with my personal and emotional peace. At this point in my life and career, I am drawn to projects that make me feel centered and calm. Spirit just didn’t feel like that for me, and I had to honor that inner voice.”
Deepika’s decision reflects a growing shift in the entertainment industry where mental health, personal well-being, and emotional clarity are finally taking precedence over contractual obligations and star power. While Spirit continues to generate buzz with the addition of actress Triptii Dimri as the new female lead, Deepika’s mature handling of her exit has won her applause for prioritizing self-care.

The actress’s departure also serves as a reminder that big names, big banners, and big budgets don’t always guarantee the right fit. Sometimes, it’s about timing, emotional bandwidth, and creative alignment. Sources close to the production hinted that Deepika made the choice amicably and well in advance to allow the makers enough time to recast.
Fans took to social media to support Deepika’s decision, hailing her for setting a positive example in a demanding industry. “It takes courage to walk away from a major project for the sake of mental peace,” one fan tweeted. “This is why she’s not just a superstar, but a role model.”
With several other projects in the pipeline—including her international ventures and the highly anticipated film Kalki 2898 AD—Deepika Padukone continues to stay relevant and respected, both on and off screen. Her career choices reflect not just versatility, but also a deep sense of purpose and self-awareness.
As Spirit moves ahead with its new cast lineup, Deepika’s graceful exit stands as a powerful message: peace of mind isn’t negotiable, no matter how big the opportunity.
