Following the sudden and shocking exit of Bollywood star heroine Deepika Padukone from the sequel to Prabhas’ highly anticipated mythological sci-fi magnum opus, Kalki 2898, the filming for the project has been further delayed. The film’s director, Nag Ashwin, is already on a hunt for the actress who will replace Deepika in the pan-India project.
Yesterday, speculations of Nag Ashwin holding talks with star heroine Sai Pallavi went viral on social media. The acclaimed director was reportedly planning a female-centric film with Sai Pallavi. However, the latest buzz in Tollywood circles reveals that Nag Ashwin is planning to cast Sai Pallavi as Deepika Padukone’s replacement in Kalki 2.
While clarity regarding the Sai Pallavi-Nag Ashwin collaboration will emerge in the coming weeks, Prabhas fans are eagerly waiting for the prestigious project to go on floors at the earliest. But given the current scenario, Kalki 2 may not begin its production this year. Stay tuned to 123telugu for further updates.
