After Spirit and Kalki 2, Is Deepika Out of Another Global Project?

Bollywood star actress Deepika Padukone has once again become a hot topic in the industry. In recent days, she has reportedly walked out of several major Pan-India and global projects. After opting out of Kalki 2898 AD sequel and Spirit due to work-hour issues, another buzz says she has turned down a global opportunity too.

According to Hollywood reports, Deepika’s name was considered for The White Lotus Season 4, a popular HBO series known for its global acclaim. The makers allegedly asked her to attend an audition, but sources say she expected a direct offer due to her star status and declined. As a result, the team is said to have moved on to another international actress.

Deepika, who earlier made her Hollywood debut with xXx: Return of Xander Cage, earned good recognition abroad. Film insiders say she’s now being very selective about her scripts, focusing on strong Pan-India and international stories. Fans online are divided - some support her thoughtful choice, while others wonder why she let go of such a great opportunity.
