It was announced some time back that Deepika Padukone would not be a part of Kalki 2898 AD’s sequel. And now, netizens feel that after her exit from the film, her name has also been removed from the first instalment. Her fans took to social media to point out that the end credits of Kalki 2898 AD on an OTT platform do not have the actress’ name.
A user posted a video of the end credits on Reddit, which missed out Deepika’s name. This sparked a major discussion on the platform, with some accusing the makers of being ‘petty’. While others argued that this could simply be a backend issue. One comment read, “It’s one thing to have a falling out but this is just downright unprofessional. She’s literally in the film and promoted it. The irony here is that they called Deepika unprofessional but then turn around and behave like this.”
Another netizen added, “Ya they are being petty at this point.” One person also claimed that the Blu-ray version they downloaded doesn’t have Deepika’s name either.

However, another user shared that the actress’ name was never present at the end credits during the release as well. “No it was never there from the beginning. They missed adding her during release also. (which they didn’t bother to correct in ott release also and was already brought to their attention),” the comment read. However, the Hindi version of the film on Netflix has Deepika Padukone’s name in the credits. Posting a screenshot of the same, a user pointed out that it might simply be a backend issue.
However, this issue has divided the internet.
For the uninitiated, Deepika reportedly exited Kalki’s sequel because her request to limit her working hours was not met. She also exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit over similar issues.
Meanwhile, the actress will now be seen in Siddharth Anand’s King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan, among others. She will also appear in Atlee’s upcoming project AA22xA6 alongside Allu Arjun.
