Deepika Padukone’s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit was the talk of the town last year.
Not just Spirit, Deepika lost out on another project too: the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. Because of Deepika’s alleged demand of sharing 10 percent of the film’s profit, but now, Sandeep’s brother, Pranay Reddy Vanga has alleged that the step was taken. One was remuneration, the second was timing. Apart from that, there are some other reasons too. After careful consideration, We have decided to part ways. Despite the long journey of making the first film, we were unable to find a partnership. And a film like @Kalki2898AD deserves that commitment and much more. We wish her the best with her future works.”
He told NTV Telugu, “The reason is the same as what was already mentioned.
Vyjayanthi Movies had made the announcement via a statement on X earlier, and wrote, “This is to officially announce that @deepikapadukone will not be a part of the upcoming sequel of #Kalki2898AD.
