Deepika Padukone’s Tough Phase In Films

Deepika Padukone has recently faced a series of professional setbacks. She was reportedly removed from the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD and missed a few projects due to her demands.

She was invited to audition for Season 4 of The White Lotus but declined losing what could have been a major Hollywood comeback opportunity as everyone know.

Deepika made her Hollywood debut with xXx: Return of Xander Cage. She was also considered for Spirit starring Prabhas but reportedly missed it due to high demands.

However she later secured roles in King alongside Shah Rukh Khan and in Allu Arjun’s film directed by Atlee.
