Mumbai: After Deepika Padukone’s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’, insiders alleged that the actress was dropped from the film due to ‘unprofessional conduct,’ which included refusal to deliver dialogues in Telugu.
Amid this buzz, Deepika has now signed Atlee’s upcoming film ‘AA22xA6’ which features South star Allu Arjun in the lead role.
On Saturday, the makers dropped a video welcoming Deepika on board ‘AA22xA6’.
The video begins with Deepika discussing the script with Atlee, followed by the preparation for the movie’s CGI-enabled action-packed sequences.
In the video, the actress was shown using a sword and riding a dummy horse for the film.
The caption of the video described Deepika as a “queen” who is ready to “conquer”.
The Queen marches to conquer!❤🔥

As the video went viral, Deepika’s fans started trolling Vanga for accusing the actress of unprofessional conduct.
One user wrote, “Yup, so it was never about speaking Telugu or 8 hours or remuneration. All those were lies? Guess we now know who the bigger liar was in this whole saga.”
Another person expressed, “Man child Vangu crying in the corner.”
One comment read, “She has been the top actress for years. No Sandeep Reddy Vanga can make her sit at home.”
One fan commented, “Deepika be like, ‘Your move Vanga.'”
“Vanga must be feeling so irritated now lol,” shared a fan, while another wrote, “Just as there were rumours about her being ousted from another movie over her 8-hour shift demands, this is a knockout move. A statement made loud & clear. Good for her.”
“Glad she chose to walk out of misogynist manchild’s film,” remarked one person.
Fans are also lauding Atlee for “understanding” and “respecting” Deepika’s perspective and superstar status.
