Actress Deepika Padukone recently made headlines for her ousting from Kalki 2. A recent report suggested the makers of Kalki 2 decided to drop Deepika from the project after she demanded a 25% increase in her fees, along with a reduced 7-hour work shift. Sources suggest that the filmmakers attempted to negotiate these terms with the actress, but she remained firm in her stance. Now, the actress seems to have clapped back at the makers of Kalki 22898 AD by sharing a post with an important lesson taught by The King – Shah Rukh Khan.

Deepika Padukone shares a lesson taught by Shah Rukh Khan

In a post shared by the actress in the wee hours of Saturday, the actress dropped an adorable pic – holding hands with her King co-star Shah Rukh Khan. Along with the post, she wrote, “The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming Om Shanti Om was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success.”
She added, “I couldn’t agree more and have applied that learning to every decision I’ve made since.And that’s probably why we’re back making our 6th movie together?”

Ranveer Singh and others react

Soon after the post was shared on social media, actress’ husband Ranveer Singh chimed into the comments section to call SRK and Deepika, “Bestest Besties!” Meanwhile a fan remarked, “Take it to double digits, you two are the best duo.” A third fan commented, “I’m so proud of you! Stand for yourself and never stop believing what u deserve! I love you.”

Deepika Padukone’s alleged demands from makers

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the makers of Kalki 2 reportedly decided to part ways with Deepika Padukone after she insisted on a 25% increase in her fees, along with a demand for only 7-hour workdays. Despite the producers’ efforts to negotiate and address these requests, Deepika remained inflexible.
According to a source close to the production, “Deepika Padukone demanded a 25 per cent increment on the acting fees she was paid for the first part of the film. That’s not all, she put her foot down on shooting for just 7 hours a day. Given that Kalki 2898 AD is a VFX heavy film, such short shoots was likely to shoot up the budget by a reasonable amount. The producers were willing to provide a luxury vanity to Deepika for rest, in return of longer shoot hours, but she refused. They also tried to negotiate finances, given that even Prabhas had not asked for an increment in fees. She and her team refused to adjust on either.”
