Deepika Padukone Dropped from ‘Kalki 2’ – Here’s Why
according to the http://www.pinkvilla.com
Deepika Padukone has been dropped from the much-anticipated sci-fi film Kalki 2. The announcement was made by the film’s makers through their official Twitter handle. Deepika played a significant role in Kalki 2898 AD, but she will not be a part of the sequel.
Dropped After ‘Spirit’ – Now Exits ‘Kalki 2’ as Well
After being removed from Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Deepika has now also been excluded from Kalki 2, helmed by Nag Ashwin. According to industry sources, creative differences between Deepika and the makers could be one of the reasons behind this decision.
High Fee Demands and Strict Working Hours Claimed to Be the Reason
As per a special report by Pinkvilla, the main reasons for her exit include her demand for a significantly high fee and an insistence on working only 8 hours per day. Similar demands were previously made by Deepika to director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who reportedly chose to part ways with the actress instead of agreeing to her terms. A similar situation appears to have arisen with Kalki 2, prompting the makers to drop her from the project.
Kalki 2 – A Massive, High-VFX Sci-Fi Project
Kalki 2 is a big-budget, high-scale science fiction film packed with elaborate visual effects. Projects of this scale demand intense commitment and flexible schedules from all involved. Reports suggest that Deepika found it challenging to commit to such working conditions, which may have further influenced the makers’ decision.
Additional Demands by Deepika Were Also a Factor
The report also highlights Deepika’s additional demands as another reason for her exit. Apart from a high remuneration, she allegedly requested luxury vanity vans, VIP treatment, and exclusive arrangements for her team of around 25 members. These added logistical and financial demands reportedly did not align with the production’s plans.
Loses Another Big Project After ‘Spirit’
Following Spirit, Kalki 2 becomes the second major project that has slipped out of Deepika’s hands in recent times. In Kalki 2898 AD, she portrayed an important character named ‘SUM-80’. The film’s first installment received massive appreciation from audiences, making the sequel even more anticipated.
