The reports of Prakash Raj beefing with the director came months after a similar situation was reported with Deepika Padukone. The actress allegedly walked out of Spirit after the director refused to adhere to a strict 8-hour working day for her. This led to her ouster from the other Tollywood movie, the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin, which is also being headlined by Prabhas.
