The Unraveling of Kalki 2898 AD: How Deepika Padukone’s Departure Affected the Sequel

The decision to exclude Deepika Padukone from the sequel of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ has created complications for the film’s production. It has been reported that Deepika had already filmed scenes specifically for the sequel during the first part’s production, rendering the footage unusable. The actress’s exit has left the filmmakers in a difficult position, as they must now recast and reshoot those scenes with a different actress. This will involve a significant investment of time and resources. The challenge of integrating the new actress seamlessly into the narrative of the first part also adds to the complexity of the situation. This situation will be a major issue for the production team, especially as they now need to find a new actress and reshoot scenes.
