Days after it was reported that Priyanka Chopra might be replacing Deepika Padukone in 'Kalki 2', a new report has now revealed why it is becoming difficult to get the global icon on board by the makers of the Prabhas starrer. If a report by Bollywood Hungama is to be believed, Priyanka, who is also a mother, requires flexibility regarding her time and schedule in order to fulfil her mom duties. This is the same reason why makers ousted Deepika. Besides this, the report also claims that Priyanka’s remuneration is also a ‘bigger problem’. Apparently, Priyanka is asking for almost the same price as Deepika.

Reportedly, apart from Priyanka Chopra, makers are also considering Alia Bhatt, Sai Pallavi, and Anushka Shetty as Deepika Padukone’s replacement in the movie. It is being said that the makers are considering an actress who can also match Prabhas’ massive star power and even take the sequel to greater heights.

Earlier this year, the makers of Prabhas’ starrer took to their official X handle and announced Deepika’s exit from Kalki 2. The announcement mentioned that Deepika is no longer a part of the project because a film like Kalki “deserves commitment".
