After Deepika Padukone’s departure, actress Triptii Dimri has been officially appointed as her replacement.

The conversation snowballed after entertainment portal Pinkvilla carried a news article stating that ‘Spirit’ would have high-octane action sequences that would justify an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate. This news, which was not officially declared by the team of the film, seems to have been the trigger for Vanga’s public display of discontent.
