After Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, Deepika Padukone loses out another big film? Here's what we know
Recent reports suggested that actress Deepika Padukone has been removed from the sequel of Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD due to alleged fallout with the lead actor, Prabhas. Another source claimed that the makers were considering trimming her role entirely. Now, a source close to the team has squashed these rumours, calling it 'baseless.' Deepika Padukone NOT leaving Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2: Reports
Speaking with NDTV, a source close to the production team firmly denied the reports, stating there is no truth behind it. As per the source, Kalki 2 is still under the earliest stages of production, and the makers are yet to finalise the casting. 'No shoot, no sets, no interaction and therefore, no question of a fallout,' the source said.
The rumours of Deepika Padukone exiting Kalki 2 began following her infamous friction with Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Deepika quit Vanga's Spirit after he refused to settle for her 8-hour shift demand, increased remuneration and profit-sharing details. Later, the director took to his official X handle to indirectly bash the actress. He also slammed her for leaking the film's plot.
Sandeep wrote on his X handle, 'When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are… Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for ? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it. Aisa karo…. Agli baar poori kahani bolna… kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha. I like this kahawath very much 🙂 खुंदक में बिल्ली खंबा नोचे!.' Shortly after the controversy, Reports claim that Vanga replaced Deepika Padukone with Tripti Dimri.

Rajkummar Rao plays the role of a violent gangster in the film. In an interview with NDTV, the actor was asked about whether he gets consumed by his onscreen persona while playing a dark character. Rajkummar said, "Stepping out of such an intense role is easier than getting into it, because getting into it, you're still figuring it out. There's a process of growing your beard and then beating up people, so that takes time. And to understand the core of the character is another thing altogether." He added, "Because I've never played such a ferocious character before, you know, someone with so much power. His name itself is Maalik, which took me time. But once you get it, then it's a lot of fun, and then the journey becomes very exciting." Maalik is produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani under the banners of Tips Films and Northern Lights Films.
