Did Deepika Padukone just shade Kalki 2898 AD sequel makers? Her new post with Shah Rukh Khan has Reddit talking

Sharing a close-up photo of her holding Shah Rukh Khan’s hand, Deepika wrote: “The 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.”

Reddit didn’t miss the timing or the tone. On a thread about Deepika's latest Instagram post, Redditors shared their thoughts about the whole incident.

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 “careful consideration,” stating that a film like Kalki 2898 AD requires a “higher level of commitment.”
