However, sources close to the situation have confirmed that this information is false and part of a larger, misguided narrative aimed at undermining her professionalism.<\/p>\n<p>According to insiders, the rumor began after Deepika chose to leave the film <em>Spirit<\/em>, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. She was reportedly looking to spend more time with her daughter and was not willing to work excessively long hours. Despite this, producers of <em>Kalki 2<\/em> have not dropped her, and she plays a vital role in the upcoming film.<\/p>\n<p>A source stated, &quot;How can there be any issues on set when filming hasn\u2019t even started? The shoot is scheduled for next year.&quot; They emphasized that Deepika is an essential part of <em>Kalki 2898 AD<\/em>, as the storyline primarily revolves around her character.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the narrative suggesting that Deepika&#8217;s supposed &quot;unreasonable demands&quot; could harm her career is misleading. In fact, after considering her options, she secured roles in significant projects, including a film with Shah Rukh Khan and one featuring Allu Arjun. An industry expert remarked, &quot;It&#8217;s hard to believe that an actor labeled as unprofessional could land such major roles.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><em>Kalki 2898 AD<\/em> also stars notable actors Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan, and is directed by Nag Ashwin. The first installment was released on June 27, 2024, and received a positive response from audiences. <\/p>\n<p>This situation highlights the need to approach celebrity news with caution, as speculative reports can mislead the public and impact reputations.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors About Deepika Padukone&#8217;s Role in Kalki 2898 AD Sequel Addressed Recently, a social media post suggested that Deepika Padukone might be removed from the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD due to &quot;friction on set&quot; and her preference for shorter work hours after becoming a mother.
