Why did Deepika Padukone quit the Kalki sequel?
According to what is reported in Bollywood Hungama, this abrupt exit was caused by the demands for a fee and working conditions by Deepika. The actress reportedly demanded to be paid a 25 per cent increase in fee compared to the first part. This is not all, she even demanded an 8-hour shift and insisted on it.
The producers made the best efforts to provide Padukone with all she could have. This went to the extent of a luxury vanity van to her sleep time in exchange of increased shoot hours yet she still declined. The sources who were near the development also added, they also offered to negotiate finances, as even Prabhas had not requested an increment in fees.
