Her exit from Kalki 2 has been linked to demands made by the actress. Reports have suggested that she asked for a “25% pay hike,” a “seven-hour workday,” and “five-star arrangements for her 25-member entourage.” A Telugu news portal also claimed that she sought “double the fee” she earned for the first Kalki film.
