When asked to confirm if she has been roped in for the sequel, the spokesperson said, “There’s no official clarity yet. Someone posted it on social media, and everyone else copied and pasted it as news. There’s definitely no clarity regarding her casting yet.” So far, neither Alia nor the team of Kalki 2898 AD have publicly addressed the rumours. Deepika Padukone’s exit from Kalki 2898 AD Earlier this year, Deepika’s exit from the sequel created a storm in the film industry and opened up discussion about work hours and work ethics on film sets. Deepika first exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, and then days later the production house Vyjayanthi Movies announced that she will also not star in the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. Also read: Kalki 2898 AD review: A film about giant Amitabh Bachchan, flying Prabhas and distressed Deepika Padukone “This is to officially announce that @deepikapadukone will not be a part of the upcoming sequel of #Kalki2898AD. After careful consideration, we have decided to part ways. Despite the long journey of making the first film, we were unable to find a partnership. And a film like @Kalki2898AD deserves that commitment and much more. We wish her the best with her future works,” they wrote, making the announcement in September 2025. In February this year, when news broke that Sai might be replacing Deepika as SUM-80, a source was quoted as saying, “Nothing has been finalised yet. But yes, the makers are looking at Sai to play SUM-80 after Deepika’s exit. They think she’ll be a perfect fit for the role.” Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan have resumed shooting for the film, while Prabhas has yet to join.

<p>If rumours are to be believed, Alia Bhatt has been roped in to play a character in the sequel of Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD. Speculations are rife that Alia is set to play the character which was played by Deepika in the first film.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Why did netizens slam Alia Bhatt?</h2><p>Before the festival, L'Oréal Paris shared a video featuring giant posters of its brand ambassadors at the iconic Hotel Martinez in Cannes. The lineup included stars such as Viola Davis, Eva Longoria, Helen Mirren and Alia Bhatt. The online discussion began when netizens pointed out the absence of Aishwarya Rai’s poster, even though she has been associated with the brand since 2003. They appeared to be suddenly overlooked for the campaign.</p>

Alia Bhatt looked straight out of a Disney story as she made her second red carpet appearance on Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. Alia attended the screening of La Vie D’Une Femme dressed in a Daniel Frankel outfit. 

It’s giving Disney Princess. For her second appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026 red carpet, Alia Bhatt chose an icy blue-grey gown that gave out a Disney princess Cindrella or Else vibe. There was a hint of Disney but more couture and high fashion for her look. Alia attended the screening of La Vie D’Une Femme dressed in a dreamy outfit that had a sculpted bodice and a tulle skirt. The fitted corset-style upper half accentuated her figure, and the rest of the flowy tule skirt gave the outfit an overall princess effect. The gown was designed by Daniel Frankel. Alia also chose understated jewellery. A sheer mesh choker complemented the detailing along the neckline, while teardrop-shaped diamond earrings and a pendant added elegance to her look, making the outfit truly worthy of the Cannes red carpet.

Ranbir Kapoor has recently been trending on social media due to his recent interaction with paparazzi during a Mumbai outing with Alia Bhatt. Watch the video inside.

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were recently mobbed by photographers during a family outing in Mumbai. The incident took place at a Mumbai screening of Daadi Ki Shaadi, and the camera saw a moment of tension unfold between the paparazzi and the actor. Why did Ranbir Kapoor snap at photographers? In the now viral video, the couple arrived together on Tuesday evening to celebrate Ranbir’s mother, Neetu Kapoor, and sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's film. But the two were quickly surrounded by paparazzi as they stepped out of their car. Due to the crowd, no room was left for movement, prompting Ranbir to react.

In one of the viral clips, the Ramayana actor can be seen addressing the photographers, saying, "Aap sab ko photographs chahiye? (Do all of you want photographs?)." Trying to make a way inside, he urged them to maintain distance, and soon after, some photographers can be heard telling others to "step back."
