Priyanka Chopra in Talks to Join ‘Kalki 2898 AD 2’ After Deepika Padukone’s Exit
The much-anticipated sequel to Nag Ashwin’s film, Kalki 2898 AD, has made headlines due to Deepika Padukone’s recent withdrawal from the project. This left a significant gap in the film’s ensemble cast.
In exciting news, it appears that Priyanka Chopra Jonas is in serious discussions to take over Deepika’s role. Currently, she is busy with another major Telugu film, Varanasi, directed by Rajamouli.
A reliable source from Hyderabad disclosed that negotiations are indeed underway. However, there are a few challenges to navigate. Priyanka has expressed the need for flexibility in her schedule, as she wants to balance her professional commitments with her responsibilities as a mother. Fortunately, this seems manageable, as she is willing to travel with her daughter for filming.
Another sticking point is related to salary. Reports suggest that Priyanka’s compensation expectations are similar to those of Deepika, which could complicate matters further.
Attempts to get a comment from the film’s producer, Priyanka Dutta, have not received any response yet.
As the project unfolds, fans will eagerly await updates on this intriguing casting change. Stay tuned for more information on Kalki 2898 AD 2 and its developments!
