A source was quoted saying, \u201cThis time,
\nDeepika<\/a> will step away from acting in the film to serve solely as a producer, overseeing the creative and logistical reboot. A new leading lady is being cast to play the part she was once slated to perform.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source added, \u201cThe Intern is the first of five projects she plans to mount in the coming year. She is looking to tell stories that are globally relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Spirit fiasco<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You\u2019ve \u2018DISCLOSED\u2019 the person that you are\u2026Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn\u2019t get it. You won\u2019t get it. You will never get it,” Vanga wrote.<\/p>\n

Reasons why the actress quit Spirit<\/p>\n

There are three reasons that have been reported so far. One of them has to do with the fact that\u00a0
\nDeepika<\/a>\u00a0has just embraced motherhood as she now has her daughter Dua in her life. Here are the three reported reasons:<\/p>\n

Deepika Padukone reportedly insisted on 8-hour shifts that barely allows for 6 hours of filming.<\/p>\n

She also demanded whooping Rs 20 Crores for the project & also a share in profits, she allegedly refused to speak her Telugu lines.<\/p>\n

A new source says the film has a lot of bold scenes and maybe it was Padukone\u2019s discomfort that led to her exit.<\/p>\n
