Deepika Padukone takes dig at Spirit and Kalki makers . Deepika Padukone is over elated as IMDB analysed 25 years of evolution of Indian film industry and found that among the actors with The Most Popular Titles in 25 years of Indian cinema (2000-2025), Deepika Padukone is in 4th spot. The report further highlighted that out of the 130 movies (top five from each year between 2000 and 2025) analysed, 10 feature Deepika.
The report mentioned Shah Rukh Khan takes the top spot with 20 titles, followed by Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan with 11 titles. Deepika is above Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Anushka Sharma, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Ajay Devgn, Prabhas and Alia Bhatt.
Deepika speaking to scribes shared “The faith my family, fans and collaborators have had in me, have also empowered me to make the choices and decisions that I have, hopefully forever altering the path those after me will tread. IMDb’s Report on 25 Years of Indian Cinema further validates and strengthens my belief that honesty, authenticity and resilience matter, and that by being true to your core beliefs with consistency, change is possible."
This is an indirect dig to the makers of Prabhas' Spirit and Kalki 2898 AD sequel who found her demands too hard.
