Deepika Bids Farewell to Kalki Sequel; Priyanka Chopra Under Consideration

Deepika Bids Farewell to Kalki Sequel; Priyanka Chopra Under Consideration

Post by : Maya Rahman

Vyjayanthi Movies has made an official announcement regarding Deepika Padukone's exit from the anticipated Kalki 2898 AD sequel. The production company released a statement indicating that, after careful deliberation, they decided to part ways with the actress. They noted that, although she played a crucial role in the first installment, continuing the partnership was no longer feasible, and they wished her success in her future endeavors.

There are emerging reports that suggest Priyanka Chopra may step in to replace Deepika, although no official confirmation has been provided. Enthusiastic fans have taken to social media to voice their opinions on the potential casting change, with some expressing that it could elevate the sequel while others ponder how the narrative would accommodate this shift.

Sources indicate that Deepika had spent nearly 20 days filming the sequel while working on the initial project. Her exit appears to be linked to pay negotiations, which reportedly exceeded the initial 25% raise proposed. The production team has clarified that the issue was not related to scheduling conflicts. Deepika was aware of the sequel's progress and the demanding role envisioned for her. The main friction stemmed from the tactics employed by her management during negotiations.

The forthcoming sequel, titled Varanasi, stands as one of Indian cinema's most ambitious ventures. Directed by SS Rajamouli and featuring Mahesh Babu, the film has generated significant buzz among fans. Rajamouli’s acclaimed storytelling style has already attained international acclaim, marking this collaboration as another monumental achievement. With Deepika's departure, fans eagerly await news of her potential replacement and how the sequel's storyline will evolve.

Vyjayanthi Movies asserted that they will share official casting updates and production information at an appropriate time. They also urged media and fans alike to refrain from disseminating unverified information related to the project, emphasizing that the film deserves complete dedication and resolute efforts to fulfill the high expectations set.

Despite Deepika Padukone's exit, anticipation surrounding Kalki 2898 AD remains immense. The partnership between Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu continues to attract global interest, with expectations that the film will achieve new heights in production and storytelling quality. The team is focused on delivering an extraordinary cinematic experience that resonates deeply with audiences while honoring the original film's legacy.

With the confirmation of Deepika’s departure from the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, fans are left excitedly awaiting insights about the new cast, possibly including Priyanka Chopra, along with updates from the production team. The sequel continues to be one of the most awaited releases, promising a spectacle filled with grandeur, high stakes, and cinematic brilliance.
