Sai Pallavi in Kalki 2898 AD: Big Budget Relief, Bigger Challenge Ahead

The Telugu cinema fans received news that actress Sai Pallavi enters the Kalki sequel in place of Deepika Padukone. Currently there are many discussions on social media about this change and how it will fit in the film’s journey. 

But if we observe, Sai Pallavi replacing Deepika Padukone in Kalki sequel saves the producers at least ₹30 crore in the budget due to differences in remuneration and terms. But it will be a big challenge for Sai Pallavi and the team to match the screen presence and impact of Deepika from the first part.

Nag Ashwin directs this film and Vyajayanthi Movies produces it. Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan will reprise their roles from the first part, and audiences have big expectations for the film, which will start its shoot soon.

Lokesh Kanagaraj Fails, Nelson Succeeds

Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan decided to do a multistarrer film, and they initially considered Lokesh Kanagaraj as an option, but as he failed to impress them, another director, Nelson, grabbed the opportunity.

The official announcement of Thalaivar 173 is expected to be out very soon with a video. With this, Nelson is doing three consecutive films with Rajinikanth: Jailer, Jailer 2, and the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan multistarrer.

Nelson’s career soars after Jailer’s success

After a setback like Beast, scoring a massive blockbuster like Jailer and getting even bigger projects from the same star is kind of a comeback that is truly fantastic from the director Nelson Dilipkumar. 

Nelson debuted as a director with Kolamaavu Kokila (2018), which was a successful film, followed by big hits like Doctor (2021), and the blockbuster Jailer (2023), establishing himself as a top director.
