TL;DR: Deepika Padukone has stepped away from two major Prabhas films in 2025 — Spirit due to creative clashes with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and Kalki 2898 AD 2 where director Nag Ashwin reportedly dropped her. Both exits have sparked controversies about long work hours, profit-sharing, and PR battles. Meanwhile, Deepika is focusing more on family life after the birth of her daughter Dua.
Bollywood star #DeepikaPadukone is once again trending, but not for a new release. Instead, she’s made headlines for exiting two big-ticket projects back-to-back.
Earlier this year, Deepika walked out of #Spirit, a film directed by #SandeepReddyVanga and starring #Prabhas. Sources say there were serious creative disagreements, clashes over working hours, and even disputes on profit-sharing. Things got heated when Vanga posted a cryptic message accusing a senior actor of “dirty PR work.” Many in the industry believed this was aimed at Deepika, though no names were directly mentioned.
Now, the shocker — Deepika is officially out of #Kalki2898AD 2. The first film made history as India’s costliest movie (budgeted at Rs 600 crore) and earned more than Rs 1,100 crore worldwide. Deepika’s character SUM-80 was central to the story, so her absence in the sequel has left fans disappointed. Reports suggest that unlike Spirit, this time she wasn’t the one to leave — director #NagAshwin is said to have dropped her from the project.
While gossip mills are buzzing, Deepika’s personal life in 2025 paints a calmer picture. She and Ranveer Singh welcomed their daughter Dua earlier this year, and she seems to be prioritising motherhood over back-to-back shooting schedules.
From the people’s point of view, this entire episode shows how harsh the film industry can be. Long working hours, money disputes, and PR battles seem to matter more than creative work. The audience, who pay their hard-earned money to watch these films, often end up as silent spectators to these power struggles.
The bigger lesson? Respect for artists should come before corporate-style deals. Fans want genuine storytelling and fair treatment for all — not ego wars.
So, what’s your take? Did Deepika simply choose family over films, or was this another case of industry politics pushing someone out? Share your thoughts below.
