Overview

• During a new vlog with her cook Dilip at Rohit Saraf’s home, Farah Khan joked that Deepika Padukone now works only eight hours a day and has no time to appear on their show.
• Vyjayanthi Movies has officially stated that Padukone will not return for the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, saying the team could not find the required partnership for the film.
• Media reports earlier this year said Padukone left Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, with Triptii Dimri later reported as her replacement.
• Coverage has attributed to Padukone a set of demands that included an eight‑hour daily shoot cap, higher fees, and a share of profits, though not all details have been confirmed by the parties involved.
• Outlets described Farah’s remarks as lighthearted banter that reflects ongoing debate about schedules and remuneration for actresses after motherhood, with Padukone having welcomed her daughter in September 2024.
