The exit of Deepika Padukone from Kalki 2 continues to stir discussion on social media.
Even after two days, chatter has not died down, though the actress herself has remained silent. Her fans and PR teams, however, are actively posting their takes online.
A section of Deepika’s fans blame Prabhas for the situation. They argue that she was earlier forced out of Spirit and now Kalki 2 — both films headlined by Prabhas.
Their reasoning is that if Prabhas had intervened, the makers of these projects would not have dared to drop her. By letting them take the call, they feel, he indirectly allowed the negative publicity to fall on her.
However, industry insiders point out that Prabhas does not interfere in casting choices.
Directors and producers are given complete freedom in such matters, and he stays away from these decisions. So blaming him will boomerang for her.
