With Deepika Padukone Out of Kalki 2898 AD Part 2, Who Will Step Into Her Role?

In a surprising turn of events, the makers of Kalki 2898 AD have officially confirmed that Deepika Padukone will not be a part of the film’s highly anticipated sequel. The announcement has sparked widespread speculation across the industry about who will take over her role in Kalki 2898 AD Part 2.

According to reports, director Nag Ashwin and his team decided to part ways with Deepika due to scheduling conflicts and creative considerations. While the first installment featured her in a pivotal role that formed the emotional core of the story, the team is now exploring options to recast the character for the sequel, which is already in advanced stages of pre-production.

Sources close to the project reveal that Alia Bhatt was the first choice to replace Deepika. However, with her packed schedule that includes multiple high-profile projects, it remains uncertain whether she can accommodate the shoot for Kalki 2898 AD Part 2.

Meanwhile, the buzz in Tollywood circles suggests that actress Sai Pallavi is also being considered for the role. Known for her powerful performances and expressive screen presence, Sai Pallavi could bring a new dimension to the character if she comes on board. Her inclusion would also mark an exciting collaboration with Prabhas and director Nag Ashwin.

As of now, the makers have remained tight-lipped about the final casting decision. Given the scale and success of Kalki 2898 AD, expectations are sky-high for the sequel, and fans are eagerly waiting for an official confirmation.

With Nag Ashwin at the helm, and the story poised to expand the cinematic universe introduced in the first part, Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Indian films in recent years.
