In a swirl of rumors electrifying the film industry, Sai Pallavi is the name on everyone's lips as she is tipped to take over from Deepika Padukone in the much-discussed sequel, 'Kalki 2898 AD Part 2'. The whispers have intensified since earlier reports suggested that Alia Bhatt was in the running. However, it now appears that Sai Pallavi is the frontrunner, though it's crucial to note that this buzz remains unconfirmed by official sources.
“With no formal confirmations yet, this casting swap could shake things up in the franchise's storyline,” insiders speculate fervently.
The original 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been a colossal hit since its debut in 2024, and the chatter around its sequel is reaching fever pitch. With sci-fi and mythology colliding in a dystopian future, the film crafted by Nag Ashwin promises to enthrall once more. As the sequel's production looms on the horizon, discussions not only revolve around the new cast but also on the timeline, with Prabhas, the lead, slated to kick off filming on February 2, 2026.
Behind the glitz, reports suggest that previous collaborator Deepika Padukone won't be returning. It seems a synergy in working relationships was hard to maintain, leading to Padukone stepping back. Alongside these changes, Prabhas is balancing a tight shooting schedule, juggling this epic with his other commitments like 'Spirit' and 'Fauji', indicating a busy year ahead. With the new casting buzz, all eyes are on how Sai Pallavi might shape up the future of this sci-fi saga.
