Deepika Padukone’s Exit from ‘Spirit’ and ‘Kalki 2’ Sparks Controversy!

One of Bollywood's most well-known and lucrative actresses is Deepika Padukone. Even after over 18 years in the business, she is still a top pick for any filmmaker, particularly for large-scale, expensive productions. She has received international acclaim in addition to national recognition from her roles in South Indian and Bollywood films.

But lately, the actress has been in the news for something less than flattering. She seems to have a lot of "demands" for the South Indian film business. She was recently excluded from the Spirit and Kalki 2898 AD sequels. However, she is currently engaged in two projects.

Deepika Padukone Walks Out of Two Big Films:

2025 has been a significant year for Deepika Padukone personally. She has been spending time with her family since the birth of her daughter, Dua. Except for a few work appearances, her professional obligations took precedence. Family life took precedence over business, but Deepika also made news in 2025 after leaving and getting dropped from two high-profile movies. 

By the way, Prabhas is starring in both "Spirit" and "Kalki 2898 AD," which are being produced on a huge scale. Padukone was removed from director Nag Ashwin's "Kalki 2898 AD," while she left Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Spirit" due to creative disagreements.

King is the first project she is working on right now. Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, and others are also featured in this upcoming movie. In addition to this, this film will mark the cinematic debut of Suhana Khan, Shahrukh Khan's daughter. 

In addition to King, Deepika Padukone is currently working on AA22xA6, a Telugu movie. She will face off against Telugu superstar Allu Arjun in the film. Atlee Kumar will direct the movie. The Indian screenwriter and filmmaker is well-known for his films, including Jawan. Recently, Allu Arjun's appearance from the film AA22xA6 was also released, which increased interest in the film.
