Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has found herself at the centre of swirling speculation regarding her involvement in the highly anticipated sequel ‘Kalki 2’. Reports suggesting her removal from the film due to alleged on-set friction with co-star Prabhas have gained traction, but insiders insist that these claims are entirely baseless. The reality? ‘Kalki 2’ is still in pre-production, and filming has yet to commence. With casting discussions still in their early stages, the notion of any on-set disputes seems premature. The rumors appear to stem from Deepika’s reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’ allegedly due to her request for fixed 8-hour work shifts following motherhood. Some media outlets have speculated that her preference for shorter work hours has led to tension with filmmakers prompting discussions about her potential removal from ‘Kalki 2’. However, neither Deepika nor the film’s makers have issued an official statement addressing the matter.
