Deepika Padukone Kalki 2898 AD Sequel Exit: Makers Reveal Shocking Reason

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has exited the sequel of the film "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin and co-starring Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan

The makers of the film, Vyjayanthi Movies, confirmed her departure on social media, citing the need for a strong commitment to the project as a reason for parting ways with the actress

Deepika's role in the first film, where she played Sumathi, a pregnant woman whose child was the "Kalki Avatar," was highly praised and her exit is a disappointment to fans

A new actress will replace Deepika in the sequel, but the replacement's name has not yet been announced

This is not the first project Deepika has exited; she previously left Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film "Spirit" due to disputes over working hours and fees

Despite stepping away from these projects, Deepika is set to return to the big screen with the upcoming film "A22 x A6" by Atlee and Allu Arjun, marking her return after the birth of her daughter, Dua

Fans can expect to see Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan reprising their roles in the "Kalki 2898 AD" sequel

Deepika's departure from such high-profile projects has created a buzz, but her upcoming roles continue to excite her fan base
