Amitabh Bachchan-Kamal Haasan Commence Kalki Part 2 Shoot, Fans Enquire About Deepika Padukone's Replacement

Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 is one of the most anticipated movies. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the first part of the sci-fi was fronted by Prabhas and hit the big screens pan-India in June 2024. Following the massive success of the first part, the film ran into controversy.  

Despite receiving massive praise for the film, Deepika Padukone backed out of the movie's sequel. This came after her very publicised departure from Spirit. Amid this, Amitabh Bachchan took to his official blog to share the photos from the set of the film's sequel.
