Overview
- Multiple Indian outlets reported in late July that Katrina Kaif has been approached for a short but pivotal cameo in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit.
- Those reports are unconfirmed because neither the film’s makers nor Katrina Kaif have issued an official statement about the casting.
- The casting talk follows earlier coverage that Deepika Padukone left the project and that Triptii Dimri has been named the principal female lead opposite Prabhas.
- Some publications carried unverified insider claims about Deepika’s exit, saying she sought high pay, profit share and limited hours, but those claims rely on limited sourcing and remain disputed.
- If Kaif signs on, the appearance could draw extra pan‑India attention by marking her return to Telugu films and giving the production a high-profile surprise to promote, though all coverage so far should be treated as speculative.
