Prabhas busy with multiple big projects
Speaking of the leading man, Prabhas, is currently occupied with multiple projects. He is shooting Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s cop-action drama ‘Spirit’. He is also working with ‘Sita Raman’ director Hanu Raghavapudi on their upcoming movie ‘Fauzi’. With the actor already involved in multiple big projects, the team of ‘Kalki 2’ is planning the schedule carefully. Once Prabhas completes his current work, the sequel is expected to begin.
Deepika Padukone exits the sequel
The sequel has also been in the news because of casting changes. Bollywood’s Deepika Padukone, who played the important role of Sumathi or Sum-80, designated as the prophesied mother of Kalki, the divine savior, was rescued by Ashwatthama from Project K's dark agenda in the first part.
She is no longer part of the sequel. Reports say she stepped away due to creative differences. The makers later confirmed that she has exited the project. The first part of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ had a powerful cast, including veteran stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan and also featured Disha Patani.
Prabhas will further work on another much-awaited sequel, ‘Salaar Part 2: Shouryanga Parvam’, directed by Prashanth Neel.
