After the success of Kalki 2898 AD, anticipation for its sequel, Kalki 2, has been high among fans. However, reports indicate a delay in the production schedule. Initially set for early 2025, the filming now faces postponements, primarily due to personal commitments from the lead actress, Deepika Padukone.
