Her new post with Shah Rukh Khan has Reddit talking"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Just days after her unexpected exit from the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, Deepika Padukone <\/a>has turned the narrative around. The actor took to Instagram on Saturday to confirm her role in Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>\u2019s upcoming film King with a poignant post that many online believe was a graceful but pointed clapback at recent controversies surrounding her departure from Kalki.<\/p>\n

\"After After her exit from Kalki 2898 AD, Deepika Padukone took to Instagram to confirm her role in King alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Reddit thinks Deepika took a subtle dig at Kalki makers<\/p>\n

Sharing a close-up photo of her holding Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s hand, Deepika wrote: \u201cThe very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming Om Shanti Om was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reddit didn\u2019t miss the timing or the tone. On a thread about Deepika’s latest Instagram post, Redditors shared their thoughts about the whole incident.<\/p>\n

The message is being interpreted as a veiled response to Vyjayanthi Movies, the production house behind Kalki, who earlier in the week announced they had “parted ways” with Deepika after \u201ccareful consideration,\u201d stating that a film like Kalki 2898 AD requires a \u201chigher level of commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe called in the final boss to end all the PR drama,\u201d one user wrote, referring to Shah Rukh Khan as the ultimate power move.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe showed them how to respond with grace and dignity. The subtle flex, cherry on the cake,\u201d another added. \u201cNot gonna lie, Deepika ate with this post,\u201d a fan wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing of this is chef\u2019s kiss, nicely done, DP,\u201d one said, while another called it a \u201csixer\u201d straight out of a power playbook.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeedhe indirect teer maara Kalki ki taraf. Go girl (A direct dig at Kalki),\u201d read one of the more direct takes. \u201cDeepika: 2, Tollywood: 0,\u201d joked another.<\/p>\n

The Kalki fallout had stirred significant online chatter, with many speculating whether creative differences or scheduling conflicts led to her exit. But Deepika\u2019s composed and seemingly strategic post may have just silenced the noise.<\/p>\n

Deepika’s latest projects<\/p>\n

The announcement also confirms that Deepika will reunite with Shah Rukh in King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film also features a power-packed cast including Suhana Khan<\/a>, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma.<\/p>\n
