Deepika Padukone's name erased from Kalki 2898 AD credits after exit; angry fans call makers 'unprofessional, petty'

Deepika Padukone’s name has reportedly been removed from the end credits of the sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, sparking widespread backlash from fans who called the decision disrespectful and unprofessional. The film, which stars Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, originally featured Deepika in a pivotal role as SUM-80, a character central to the film’s narrative and emotional depth. Reports suggest her name was erased following an alleged fallout with the production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, though the makers have not released an official statement regarding the issue. Fans took to social media expressing disappointment, pointing out that Deepika’s contribution to the movie’s success and emotional balance was significant, and erasing her name from the credits undermines her hard work and artistic input in the project.
