Allu Arjun has walked out or been removed from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film. While there is no official confirmation yet, sources close to the project say the script or production roadmap may have undergone major restructuring, with Jr NTR now being considered to step in as the new lead.
This follows several months of speculation after Allu Arjun was announced as the lead for a post-Pushpa 2 project with Vanga, known for Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, and Animal. Creative differences, scheduling issues, or evolving story dynamics are believed to have played a role in the fallout.
⚠️ Turbulence Around Vanga’s Films: Deepika Padukone Also Out
This isn’t the only high-profile shake-up in Vanga’s camp. Actress Deepika Padukone was reportedly dropped from the Prabhas-led film Spirit over conflicts around work hours, remuneration, and profit-sharing.
Vanga publicly responded via a post on X, accusing Deepika of:
- Playing “dirty PR games”
- Violating an “unsaid NDA”
- Trying to sideline a younger actor in the cast
He didn’t mince words, ending with:
“You didn’t get it. You won’t get it. You will never get it.”
The incident has sparked debates about professionalism and transparency in high-stakes Bollywood productions.
🔄 What’s Next for Allu Arjun and Deepika?
Despite being dropped from Vanga’s individual films, Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone are teaming up for Atlee’s massive pan-India project, tentatively titled AA22xA6. Some details:
- Allu Arjun will play dual roles, according to his team.
- Deepika is the sole female lead as of now.
- A mid-2025 start date is expected for shooting.
- The film is planned for a theatrical release in 2026.
- The project promises action, drama, and political intrigue in Atlee’s signature style.
🔎 Final Take
- Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s reputation for intense filmmaking is now being matched by intense off-screen drama.
- Allu Arjun’s exit and Jr NTR’s possible entry could mark a major shift in the tone or theme of Vanga’s next.
- The Atlee project may end up being the career-defining collaboration that balances both Allu Arjun’s star power and Deepika’s versatility, especially as they look to move past the turbulence with Vanga.
