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.
