Deepika Padukone is celebrating her 39th birthday today, and her Kalki 2898 AD co-star Prabhas took to social media to wish her on this special occasion. He penned a heartfelt note, expressing his admiration for the actress and sending her good wishes for the year ahead. “Happy birthday to the ever-talented Deepika Padukone! Wishing you joy, success, and endless happiness,” Prabhas wrote, highlighting Deepika’s remarkable talent and the bond they share as co-stars.
The two actors were last seen together in the sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, where Prabhas played Bhairava, a dark and selfish bounty hunter, and Deepika portrayed Sumathi, a pivotal character in the film’s storyline. Sumathi is revealed to be the mother of Kalki, Vishnu’s final avatar, making her role crucial to the plot. Kalki 2898 AD became one of the highest-grossing films of 2024, captivating audiences with its compelling story and stellar performances.
At the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, producers Priyanka Dutt and Swapna Dutt shared exciting updates about the sequel. Swapna revealed that pre-production for Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 is already in progress, with 30-35% of the second installment filmed. Deepika Padukone will reprise her role as the Mother, continuing her essential contribution to the film’s plot.
The sequel promises a face-off between Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan’s characters, with the story picking up after the cliffhanger ending of the first part. Director Nag Ashwin hinted that the sequel may take up to three years to complete, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter of this thrilling saga.
