Prabhas has a busy couple of years ahead, with several films in the works. One of the most anticipated is the sequel to ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ which garnered significant global success, earning over 1000 crore. However, the recent news of Deepika Padukone’s exit has concerned many fans. Various reasons have been cited for Padukone’s departure, including alleged disagreements over her fee or a reduction in her role’s significance. Regardless of the reason, her exit is considered a major blow to the film. Now, the question remains: who will replace her?
Fans have been actively speculating about potential replacements, with Anushka Shetty’s name gaining considerable traction on social media. Many believe her inclusion would bring a fresh perspective to the film, and the prospect of seeing her alongside Prabhas is exciting. The two actors have previously starred together in the blockbuster ‘Baahubali’ franchise, and their on-screen chemistry is well-established. The first part of Baahubali earned 650 crore worldwide. Now, the filmmakers must decide whether to take the fans’ suggestions into consideration.
It’s worth noting that Padukone was previously offered a role in Prabhas’s ‘Spirit’ but ultimately declined due to a disagreement over work hours. This situation led to some online discourse when Tripti Dimri was cast, with accusations of negative PR campaigns against Dimri.
