Contrary to recent rumours, Deepika Padukone has not exited the upcoming film Kalki 2. Reports had claimed that the actor was dropped from the sequel due to "friction on sets" with co-star Prabhas and the film's crew. However, sources close to the film have denied these claims, calling them "completely baseless." The film is still in pre-production and has not gone on the floors yet, making it unlikely that any casting decisions have been made.
According to sources, Kalki 2 is still in development, and no official casting decisions have been made yet. The film's director, Nag Ashwin, is likely to make announcements regarding the cast and plot details in the coming months. With the film still in its early stages, it's too early to speculate about any potential cast changes or plot twists.
The rumour about Deepika Padukone's exit from Kalki 2 seems to have originated from her reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit. The director's cryptic tweets criticizing actors for wanting "luxury" were interpreted as indirect jabs at Padukone. However, sources close to Kalki 2 have clarified that there's been no interaction between the cast and crew, and therefore, no fallout.
Kalki 2, directed by Nag Ashwin, is anticipated to explore elements of Hindu mythology. While specific themes or characters have not been officially detailed, the project is expected to match the hype of its predecessor, Kalki 2898 AD. With Prabhas and Deepika Padukone reportedly on board, fans are eagerly awaiting more information about the film's plot and release date.
