Deepika Padukone has broken her silence amid reports of leaving Sandeep Reddy Vanga ’s Spirit and the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD . Sources suggest that Deepika opted out of Spirit due to creative and professional differences, including a reported eight-hour work schedule and discussions over profit-sharing terms. Her decision was also influenced by her wish to focus on motherhood following the birth of her daughter in 2024.
Vyjayanthi Movies, the studio behind Kalki 2898 AD , confirmed last month that Deepika would not be part of the sequel. The banner stated that the second installment required “a higher level of commitment,” which the actress was unable to accommodate at this stage. https://www.instagram.com/p/DPmHdeoEvlv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MXY3M2gyMWgyZ2g5Zg==
