Deepika Padukone’s decision to step away from the Kalki 2898 AD sequel left a major gap in the film’s star cast. Now, strong reports suggest that Priyanka Chopra may replace her in the sequel.
Priyanka is currently busy shooting for Varanasi so many fans are curious whether this news is true.
A few sources shared that Priyanka is definitely in serious discussions for the role. But there are a few challenges similar to the issues Deepika faced.
Priyanka needs a flexible schedule so she can manage her work along with her responsibilities as a mother. This is not a big problem as she is ready to travel with her daughter during filming.
The bigger hurdle seems to be her remuneration. Priyanka is reportedly asking for nearly the same payment Deepika was offered. When the writer contacted producer Priyanka Dutta for confirmation, she chose not to comment.
