“600 Crore Movies Are Not Important” — Deepika Padukone’s Strong Reaction to the ‘Kalki 2’ Controversy
Deepika Padukone Kalki 2 controversy: Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone needs no special introduction. Starting her career without any film background and overcoming several hurdles, she has now become one of the biggest heroines in India. Recently, she became the center of discussion after stepping away from two major Telugu projects — Prabhas ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ sequel and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’.
In a fresh interview, Deepika indirectly addressed the controversy surrounding her exit, giving clarity on what really happened.
Why Did Deepika Walk Out of Kalki 2 and Spirit?
Deepika is currently busy shooting for AA22xA6, directed by Atlee with Allu Arjun in the lead role. While her career is flourishing, her sudden withdrawal from two prestigious pan-India films created huge buzz on social media.
Fans questioned why Deepika would walk out of massive films opposite a star like Prabhas. Rumors spread that she was removed due to working-hour clashes, conditions, and date issues.
Deepika Padukone Breaks Her Silence
Responding to these rumors, Deepika clarified that:
“Whether it is a 100-crore or 600-crore movie… that doesn’t matter to me. I will not compromise my health or personal life for big films.”
She explained that remuneration or budget-related disputes were not the reason behind her exit.
Deepika pointed out that massive film sets often bring heavy mental and physical pressure.
“People think money is everything. But big projects come with huge stress. Without a healthy work environment, you cannot deliver your best. Working eight hours a day is ideal for quality output.”
Health, Peace & Role Priority Come First
Deepika made it clear that she chooses projects based on:
- Health compatibility
- Mental peace
- Personal values
- Quality of the role
Fans believe her statements indirectly confirm the reasons for leaving ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ sequel and ‘Spirit’.
Who Replaced Deepika?
In Spirit, Tripti Dimri has reportedly been finalized to replace Deepika.
But the makers of Kalki 2898 AD sequel are yet to announce who will step into her role.
Both the Bollywood and Tollywood circles are eagerly awaiting the next update.
