Speculation is rife on social media after reports emerged that Bollywood star *Deepika Padukone* has been dropped from “Kalki 2.” Industry buzz suggests that the decision was linked to the actress’s alleged demands, which the makers found difficult to accommodate. According to sources, Deepika reportedly insisted on housing her 25-member team in a luxury hotel, along with a *25% hike in remuneration.*
While producers were said to have agreed to the higher pay, differences arose over her request to limit shooting hours to just *5–7 hours per day.* The production team felt that such restrictions would delay the film’s schedule, leading to a possible reshuffle of casting.
Although there has been no official confirmation from the actress or the producers, the news has sparked widespread debate online. Fans are eagerly waiting for clarity on whether Deepika will indeed be replaced or if the reports are part of ongoing industry speculation.
