Recent buzz from the entertainment industry suggests that Deepika Padukone may no longer be part of Kalki 2, following reports of her removal from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Spirit. Industry sources claim that the actress’ request for shorter work hours after embracing motherhood is leading to tension with filmmakers.

According to social media chatter, particularly from the Instagram handle Bollywood.mobi, the production team behind Kalki 2 is reconsidering Deepika’s involvement due to these concerns. While no official announcement has been made, the rumored developments are creating significant speculation.

Previously, it was also rumored that Deepika exited Spirit due to similar reasons. Allegedly, her conditions—including an eight-hour workday, a substantial fee, and a share in profits—did not align with the director’s expectations. In a strongly worded social media post, Sandeep Reddy Vanga expressed disappointment over the situation, criticizing what he perceived as unprofessional conduct and breach of trust.

Following these developments, actress Triptii Dimri has reportedly stepped in as the female lead for Spirit. Having worked with Vanga in the past, she confirmed her role on social media with a heartfelt message expressing her excitement and gratitude.

As of now, Deepika Padukone has not made any public statement regarding her reported exit from either project.
