There have been rumors swirling around that Deepika Padukone has been removed from the film Kalki 2 following reports of her exit from Spirit. But let’s set the record straight — these reports are false and should not be taken seriously.

While Deepika did take a break after giving birth in September 2024 and faced some speculation about her commitments, there has been no official confirmation that she is being dropped or that her role in Kalki 2 will be reduced. The news about demands for an 8-hour work schedule or high pay causing such drastic changes is largely based on unverified gossip.

Deepika is gearing up for a strong comeback with multiple projects lined up, including Kalki 2898 AD and Suhana Khan’s debut King, so fans can rest easy about her presence in upcoming films.

Until any official announcements come from Deepika or the filmmakers, it’s best to take these rumors with a grain of salt.
