Deepika Padukone’s Departure from Kalki 2898 AD Sequel Sparks Discussion

Fans of Deepika Padukone were surprised by the news of her exit from the highly anticipated sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. Speculation is rife about the reasons, with reports pointing towards financial and logistical disagreements.

Reported Reasons Behind Deepika’s Exit

Several media outlets suggest that Deepika’s demands played a significant role in her departure. These reportedly included a 25% increase in her fee, a capped seven-hour workday, and extensive arrangements for her large entourage. This follows a similar pattern with her exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Spirit,” where shorter working hours were also a reported factor.

Fan Reactions and Future of the Film

Fans have expressed mixed reactions on social media, with some supporting Deepika’s stance on work-life balance while others express disappointment at her departure from the project. The film’s producers have yet to comment on how this will impact the production and who might replace Deepika.
