A sequel was announced, and script work is reportedly complete, with shooting expected to commence soon.
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who played the heroine in the first film, will not be starring in the sequel. The film crew officially clarified that Deepika is being replaced in Kalki 2 due to certain reasons, leading to an ongoing search for the new actress to play the role of Sumathi.
For the past two days, news has been circulating on social media that Sai Pallavi will be playing the role of Sumathi in Kalki 2. While the extent of truth in these reports was unknown, her fans expressed happiness at the prospect.
Sai Pallavi Rumors: Team Confirms Interest, Not Role
In response to these circulating reports about Sai Pallavi’s involvement, the Kalki film crew issued a clarification. A representative stated that the heroine selection has not yet been finalized and there is no truth to the rumors suggesting Sai Pallavi has been confirmed. They confirmed that the film crew did approach Sai Pallavi after Deepika Padukone’s departure, and they themselves believe she would be a good fit for the role of Sumathi. However, they also refuted reports that the film’s shooting is about to begin imminently.
Despite the lack of official finalization, fans are now certain Sai Pallavi will be chosen, given the team’s acknowledgment of her suitability. Sai Pallavi has recently been committing to a series of pan-India films, including the Bollywood Ramayana, the MS Subbulakshmi biopic, and Dhanush’s 55th film. It is understood that she might soon be part of the Kalki film as well.
