Deepika Padukone Walks Out of Kalki 2898 AD Sequel, Citing Commitment Issues

Written by Intern Queeny George M.H, Team Allycaral

Panaji / Mumbai — In a major update for fans of Kalki 2898 AD, production house Vyjayanthi Movies has officially confirmed that Deepika Padukone will not star in the sequel of the big-budget sci-fi epic.

The actress, who played a pivotal role alongside Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Disha Patani in the first installment, was expected to reprise her character in the continuation. However, the makers have now announced her exit, citing “lack of commitment” as a factor.

This isn’t the first time Deepika has walked away from a major project recently. A few months ago, she also exited Prabhas’ upcoming film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Reports suggested disagreements over her working conditions, including demands for an 8-hour workday, a share of the film’s profits, and avoiding dialogue delivery in Telugu. These conditions reportedly clashed with the filmmaker’s vision, and Deepika was later replaced by Triptii Dimri.

Her departure from Kalki 2898 AD is being seen as a setback for fans who admired her pairing with Prabhas in the futuristic saga. Meanwhile, speculation is rife about who will step into her role in the sequel.

With Triptii Dimri rising in prominence and joining several high-profile projects, industry watchers note a significant shift in casting dynamics within Bollywood and pan-Indian cinema.

While Deepika’s absence from Kalki 2898 AD sequel will be felt, the project is expected to continue its ambitious vision under Vyjayanthi Movies with a refreshed cast lineup.

“The Bads of Bollywood” Premiere: Aryan Khan’s Directorial Debut Turns into a Star-Studded Spectacle

Tanisha Cardozo

In a city that has seen its fair share of glamorous nights, this one stood out. Red Chillies Entertainment hosted a grand premiere of The Bads of Bollywood at the opulent Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, and the event was anything but ordinary. The venue shimmered with lights, echoed with camera clicks, and buzzed with a sense of cinematic history being made.

What was meant to be a premiere for a new web series quickly evolved into a full-blown media spectacle. The red carpet felt like a who’s who of Bollywood. From Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to Kajol and Ajay Devgn, the A-list turnout was jaw-dropping. Every entrance was a moment, with celebrities donning dramatic couture, glamorous gowns, and statement looks that sparked a fashion frenzy.

The biggest highlight, however, was the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and his family, attending in support of Aryan Khan, who made his much-anticipated directorial debut. Aryan, known for staying out of the spotlight, finally stepped in—but on his own terms—as the creative force behind The Bads of Bollywood, a satirical action comedy web series that premiered on Netflix the same night.

The evening wasn’t without its emotional undertones. One particularly touching moment saw Bobby Deol comforting Aryan Khan, in what appeared to be an attempt to lift his spirits amidst the overwhelming attention. These intimate gestures gave the night a human touch, a reminder that behind the glitz were real emotions, dreams, and first steps being taken.

As the show begins its streaming journey on Netflix, all eyes are on Aryan Khan, who has taken his first step not as an actor, but as a director with a vision. The premiere may be over, but the buzz around The Bads of Bollywood has only just begun.

According to a report by The Sun, a leading Indian production house has approached the actor with a package comprising:

The film, expected to begin shooting in early 2026, is planned across multiple international locations including New York, Paris, London, and Dubai. The storyline reportedly revolves around a young American star who falls in love with an Indian celebrity, blending cross-cultural romance with global appeal.

An industry insider revealed:

“Sydney was shocked by the offer at first — £45 million is an incredible sum. But the project is intriguing, and it could elevate her global profile even further. The Indian film industry is powerful and growing, and this movie is designed to bring its productions to the international market.”

While the actor is currently balancing several projects in Hollywood, this opportunity could mark a defining step in her career.

“Nothing has been decided yet, but it’s a huge opportunity. Sydney is weighing her options carefully,” added the source.

If confirmed, this collaboration would mark one of the biggest Hollywood-Bollywood crossovers in film history, signaling the growing influence of Indian cinema on the global stage.
