Actress Deepika Padukone faces possible removal from "Kalki 2" over work hour disputes.

Actress Deepika Padukone may be removed from the film "Kalki 2" due to her request for shorter work hours after becoming a mother. This follows her exit from another film, "Spirit," after a conflict over her proposed eight-hour workday. Her demands reportedly caused friction on the set of "Kalki 2," leading the makers to consider reducing or removing her role. However, the film's director, Nag Ashwin, has stated that Deepika's role is crucial and the film cannot proceed without her.
