Ranveer Singh Cheers For Deepika Padukone, Says THIS As She Begins King Shoot After Kalki 2 Exit

Deepika Padukone exited the sequel due to unresolved disputes over pay, work hours, and profit sharing despite prior shooting and negotiations with Vyjayanthi Movies.

  • On September 18, 2025 Vyjayanthi Movies confirmed Deepika Padukone will not be part of the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, tweeting `This is to officially announce that @deepikapadukone will not be a part of the upcoming sequel of #Kalki2898AD.`
  • After prolonged talks, makers said negotiations failed because Deepika Padukone reportedly pressed for a 25% fee increase and insisted on a seven-hour workday, conflicting with the film's schedule.
  • Director Nag Ashwin shared a cryptic Instagram fan-edit after Deepika had already shot some scenes for the sequel, which had a �600 crore budget and earned over Rs 1000 crore globally.
  • The decision immediately forced recasting questions, as producers reassigned Deepika Padukone's dates to Atlee's film amid strong fan reactions and industry shock online.
  • With the sequel slated to begin shooting late this year, the Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 faces scheduling changes after Deepika Padukone's exit, yet its release remains set for late 2026 or 2027.
