While nothing is finalized, a perfect replacement for Deepika Padukone will be sought soon, with shooting expected to start. Prabhas is expected to join the set next year. Previously, Anushka Shetty’s name was also linked to the film, given her past collaborations with Prabhas, leading to fan interest in her potential inclusion. However, the makers are awaiting the official announcement. Currently, Deepika Padukone is engaged with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ and has already allocated dates for Allu Arjun and Atlee’s film. There are reports indicating a potential reduction in her role in the film, and she has already withdrawn from ‘Spirit’ before ‘Kalki Part 2’.
