Kalki 2898 AD 2: After Deepika Padukone's exit who will be the new protagonist?

The Kalki 2898 had landmark moments in the history of Indian cinema with the Part 1 collection going beyond Rs 12 billion worldwide and drawing audiences with its unique subject and brilliant direction. The film was set in a dystopia and portrayed the story of Kalki, the tenth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The film boasted a grand hero cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone. The chilling ending of the film, which left Deepika as Sumathi, further fueled audience curiosity.

Did Deepika Padukone leave Kalki 2898 AD 2?

According to the makers, Kalki 2898 AD's part 2 will be even more grand and could gross over Rs 30 billion. But the biggest question is why Deepika Padukone will no longer be a part of the film. In the recent past Sumati, too, has molded into one of the most popular and highly celebrated characters in Indian cinema, and audiences have remained in constant wait for the appearance of this extremely admirable character.

Who will be the new Sumati?

Many names are being discussed in the film industry and on social media. Alia Bhatt could bring a new dimension to the character with her profound acting and star power. Shraddha Kapoor could bring the role closer to audiences with her mass appeal and glamorous style. Sai Pallavi's name is also being considered. Anushka Shetty, who has previously appeared in epic films with Prabhas, could add a regal aura to the character with her regal style. Anushka Sharma could also make a strong comeback with this film after a long time.
