 "'Kalki 2898 AD': Deepika Padukone may not feature in part two, producers may decide to replace her because...")
Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD is about Lord Vishnu. It’s a mix of mythology and sci-fi. It’s quite a starry movie with a line-up which includes Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Dulquer Salmaan. A kind of film which audiences will wait to watch in theatres for its brilliant international standard VFX. Set in dystopian world, undoubtedly, the film is a visual extravaganza.
Fans are awaiting the release of part two but a source told Bollywood Hungama why Deepika may not feature in the same. “The sequel was planned anyhow, no matter what the fate of Kalki. Now that it has proven to be a money spinner beyond anything, the producers expected, the sequel is being expedited.”
“But now with the clamour for the sequel growing with the mounting success of the first film, the producers may decide to replace Deepika in the sequel,” it added.
Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD is going strong at the box-office. Speaking to ETimes, the director revealed how Deepika Padukone’s actual baby was a part of the film too. “There were two days when her actual child also acted in the movie,” said Ashwin.
Her co-star Saswata Chatterjee, in a separate interview, spilled out more details and said, “Deepika is just ever-smiling. There is a scene in the film where I drag her by the hair. It was part of the last leg of the shoot and was shot in Mumbai because Deepika was pregnant by then. Ranveer came on set wearing an ensemble that was orange from top to bottom – tee, pants and shoes! He radiates such an infectious positive energy – he just can’t stand in one place. There was a lot of physical tussle in the scene, so I told Ranveer, ‘Don’t worry, for more physically challenging scenes, there’s a body double.’ He was so polite and humble. He smiled and said, ‘I know, dada.
