Deepika Padukone is reportedly the female lead in Prabhas' Spirit, which will commence its shoot 2-3 months from now. Since her fans online have always described her as a staunch feminist, others are now trolling her left, right and centre for accepting a Sandeep Reddy Vanga movie. For those who don't know, Vanga is heavily disliked by feminists for his "problematic" portrayal of women in his films.
"Deepika Padukone is the biggest 'glory hunter' and 'pick-me' in Bollywood. She has no ethics or morals. She claims to be a flag bearer of feminism, yet she openly supported Johnny Depp and is now working on a movie with Vanga. She has no career outside doing flowerpot roles in big actors movies. She is using Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas to save her sinking career," Nishant wrote.
"These Deepika fans are most toxic and pseudo-feminists. They hated Ranbir Kapoor for doing Animal with Sandeep. They spitted venom on Alia Bhatt for supporting her husband's movie. And the irony is their chief is now working with the director they have always criticized," another social media user commented. "Sit back and observe how Deepika's deranged fandom that cancels women for breathing wrong, will defend her working with Vanga. The same man they have been ranting against for the past four years, just so she can be part of an easy blockbuster," a Bollywood movie buff added.
"Absolutely loved Deepika Padukone as an actor and the iconic roles she served, but what's with her only wanting to do these commercial roles now? It is just so annoying seeing her taking up these kinds of movies," a neutral netizen remarked.
