As per GetsCinema, Deepika Padukone will be portraying the character of Padma in Prabhas starrer Kalki 2898 AD. As per Vedaa, Padma is Lord Kalki's wife. Padma was born from the womb of Kaumudi, the wife of Simhala's King Brihadratha.

Kalki is Vishnu's avatar for the final stage of the Kali Yuga. The Kalki Purana states that his wife will be Padma, an incarnation of Lakshmi. However, according to the lore of Vaishno Devi, another incarnation of Lakshmi, Rama promised her that during Kaliyuga, he would take the form of Kalki and marry her. Therefore, it is clear that Deepika might be playing the role of Prabhas' wife in Kalki 2898 AD.
