Sai Pallavi Steps Into Kalki 2 As Deepika Padukone Exits Over Reported Fee Dispute

Actress Sai Pallavi has been confirmed to replace Deepika Padukone in the eagerly awaited sequel, Kalki 2. This casting change follows Padukone’s decision to withdraw from the project over a financial disagreement.

The announcement of Pallavi’s involvement comes as she continues to gain momentum in her career, having recently secured the role of Sita in an upcoming adaptation of Ramayana and co-starring with Junaid Khan in Ek Din.

Reasons Behind Deepika’s Exit

Padukone’s departure from Kalki 2 reportedly stemmed from a dispute regarding her remuneration. Allegedly, she requested a significant increase of nearly 35 percent in her pay compared to what she had earned for the first installment of the film. Additionally, she sought adjustments to her working hours to accommodate obligations as a new mother. These negotiations ultimately led to her exit from the project, paving the way for Pallavi to step in.

Implications for the Film

While an official statement from the film’s production team has yet to be released, the transition in cast members is expected to impact the narrative dynamics of Kalki 2. The sequel has been touted as a major release on the Indian cinematic calendar, and the addition of Pallavi brings a fresh perspective to the role. Fans and industry insiders are keenly observing how this change might influence the film’s development and overall reception.

Current Status of Kalki 2

Kalki 2 remains one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema, and the casting alterations continue to generate excitement within the audience and film community alike. As production progresses, updates regarding the film’s storyline and additional cast members are awaited, further contributing to the buzz surrounding this high-profile project.
