The ongoing controversy between Deepika Padukone and the makers of Kalki 2898 AD appears to be escalating. Recently, fans noticed that Deepika has not only been removed from the film's sequel, but her name has also been removed from the film's end credits. This angered fans, who took to social media to call the makers "small-hearted" and "unprofessional." Surprisingly, Deepika was one of the prominent faces on the film's poster, so this move is considered highly unusual.

Fan’s reaction on Deepika’s name removed from credits?
A fan page shared the video, writing, "Deepika Padukone's name has been removed from the OTT version." This prompted strong reactions on social media. One user wrote, “It’s one thing to have a falling out but this is just downright unprofessional. She’s literally in the film and promoted it. The irony here is that they called Deepika unprofessional but then turn around and behave like this.” Another said, “Well, well, who's unprofessional now?” Some sarcastically asked, “Next step what? Replace her face with someone else using AI? I won't be surprised! Now they are stretching this too much.”

It is worth noting that a few weeks ago, Vyjayanthi Movies officially announced that Deepika would no longer be a part of the Kalki sequel. According to reports, this decision was made due to Deepika's indiscipline and demands for fewer shooting hours. However, fans believe that removing Deepika's name from the credits is a very childish move. The makers have not yet issued an official statement on this. Meanwhile, the sequel will feature Kamal Haasan as the main villain, and the story will delve deeper into the mythological roots of Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan's characters.
