Tripti Dimri: In a major development from the South Indian film industry, rising Bollywood actress Tripti Dimri has reportedly joined the team as the female lead in Spirit, the much-anticipated project starring Prabhas and directed by Arjun Reddy fame Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The role was initially said to be offered to Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, but reports suggest she has exited the project, paving the way for a newface.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, took it to his official X account and gave us an official confirmation. According to the reports, Tripti will join this biggest pan-Indian project to date and it will mark as her first major collaboration with a Telugu superstar.
Tripti, who earned critical acclaim for her performance in ‘Animal’, has quickly risen as one of the most promising talents in Bollywood cinema. Her potential casting in Spirit signals a major career leap and reflects the growing trend of filmmakers across industries seeking fresh talent for high-profile roles.
Spirit is Prabhas’ next big venture after the release of Kalki 2898 AD and is expected to go on floors later this year. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for intense and emotionally charged storytelling, the film is being produced under the T-Series banner and is touted as a high-octane action drama with a strong emotional core.

If Tripti is locked in, her casting is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the film, especially considering Vanga’s knack for crafting memorable female characters.
