Read further to know what made Deepika Padukone leave Kalki 2898 AD.
Deepika Padukone will not be seen in Kalki 2898 AD, and she’s making headlines about it all over once again because of her exit from the upcoming sequel of the movie Kalki 2989 AD . A few months ago, news about Deepika Padukone ‘s and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s spirit circulated because the filmmaker was not ready to accept the terms and conditions that Deepika Padukone demanded for an eight-hour shift, and there were other issues as well. Now, in the new headlines, the makers of Kalki 2898 AD announced that Deepika won’t be a part of the film’s sequel. In their tweet, they mentioned that a film like Kalki 2898 AD deserves commitment and time.
Now, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama, there are multiple reasons why the makers decided not to have Deepika in Kalki Part 2. An inside source said that Deepika has demanded a 25 percent increment in her fees. She was also adamant about shooting for just seven hours a day.
The source also said, “Given that Kalki 2898 AD is a VFX-heavy film, such short shoots were likely to shoot up the budget by a reasonable amount. The producers were willing to provide a luxury vanity for Deepika to rest in exchange for longer shoot hours, but she refused. They also tried to negotiate finances, given that even Prabhas had not asked for an increment in fees. She and her team refused to adjust on either.”
The source added that Deepika has a huge team of almost 25 people that travels with her on the sets. “They demanded five-star accommodation and reimbursement for food throughout the shoot for her entourage. Why should the producers pay for the stay and food of an actor, over and above the fees? This is an issue that a lot of Hindi producers also face. “
The source said, “This was the issue on Spirit too , and now Kalki 2898 AD. Actors have to be more collaborative to make films work.” Deepika has not yet shared any official statement about her exit from Kalki 2898 AD Part 2.
