Deepika Padukone Exits Prabhas' Kalki 2898 AD Sequel, Vyjayanthi Movies Confirms!
Hyderabad: In a move that's shaking up the film industry, Deepika Padukone will not be returning for the highly anticipated sequel to Prabhas' blockbuster hit, Kalki 2898 AD. The news was officially confirmed by the production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, which released a public statement about the actress's departure.
The Official Announcement
The production company took to social media to break the
news, stating, "After careful consideration, we have decided to part
ways." The statement further noted that they were unable to find a
"partnership" and that a film of this scale requires "commitment
and much more." The strong wording has led to widespread speculation among
fans and industry insiders about the reasons behind the split.
Why Did the Star Actress Leave?
While the official statement points to a lack of
"partnership," sources suggest a more personal reason for Padukone's
exit. Reports claim the actress, who recently became a mother, is prioritizing
her family life. Rumors have been circulating that she's been seeking an
eight-hour workday to balance her personal and professional life. This demand,
which reportedly caused issues with another of her projects, may have also been
a point of contention with the Kalki makers.
What's Next for the Kalki Franchise?
Padukone’s character, SUM-80, the mother of the divine Kalki
avatar, is a central figure in the film's storyline. Her departure leaves a
major void that the production team will need to fill before they can begin
shooting the sequel. The hunt for a new leading lady is now on, and fans are
already buzzing with suggestions.
This unexpected casting change has put the spotlight back on
the Kalki franchise, raising both questions and excitement about its
future. All eyes are on Vyjayanthi Movies to see who they cast next in this
pivotal role.
