She had an insane line-up: King, then Spirit - Raaka and Kalki 2, but what went wrong is still a mystery.

First she left Spirit, which sparked a heated debate with SRV. The internet split into two camps; the makers accused her of leaking the story and being unprofessional.

Soon after, she walked out of Kalki as well, with the same excuse given, even though she was already in Part 1 and her exit would have messed up the storyline badly. Still, the makers chose the other way.

The common factor in both films was the lead actor. Was it a personal clash or something else?

Now she has King and Raaka in her line-up, both potential blockbusters.

As for Kalki 2, she chose motherhood over the film because she needed a fixed schedule that the producers couldn't accommodate.

With King and Raaka, she became a mother for the second time and wanted to focus on that.

Raaka is likely to be a far bigger blockbuster than King, though.

Does anyone find it odd that she never posted about Dhurandhar?

Deepika was removed from both Spirit and Kalki because the large crew was raising costs, she was demanding more money while working fewer hours each day.
