Deepika Padukone still in Kalki 2898 AD credits — Viral ‘removed & re-added’ claims technically impossible

A fresh round of online chatter has once again brought up an old and inaccurate claim that Deepika Padukone’s name was “removed and later re-added” from the credits of Kalki 2898 AD on streaming platforms. However, as Bollywood Hungama had already reported earlier, this speculation holds no factual basis whatsoever. Deepika Padukone’s name has always remained intact in the film’s end credits across all languages and OTT platforms, including Amazon Prime Video and Netflix India. The confusion appears to have stemmed from fan-edited screenshots and videos circulating on social media, suggesting that the actress’s name was missing post the September 18 announcement by Vyjayanthi Films that she would not be part of Kalki 2. Industry sources have reconfirmed that no such alteration ever took place. Updating or replacing film credits on OTT platforms is a lengthy, multi-stage process involving international delivery systems, file replacements, quality checks, and re-approvals. It cannot be done overnight or in response to online backlash. A source close to the project clarified, “This entire claim is baseless. Deepika Padukone’s name has always been part of the official credits of Kalki 2898 AD across all languages and platforms. People need to understand that you can’t just ‘add or remove’ names overnight after backlash, as some reports suggested.”While Vyjayanthi Films has chosen not to issue an official statement, the film itself speaks for the truth anyone streaming Kalki 2898 AD today can clearly see Deepika Padukone’s name exactly where it has always been.

Anti-Israel Agitator Mahmoud Khalil Says His Appeal Process Is Moving Too Fast Tim O’Brian

You haven’t heard much from anti-Israel campus agitator Mahmoud Khalil lately, and there may be a reason for that. He wants to stay in the U. S., and this time around a tad less visibility helps him. Not that he’s become a wallflower. He’s just more selective in where he shows up right now. Given all that happens and is forgotten from one news cycle to the next, here’s a little refresher on the ungrateful non-American who made his name last year preaching hate on the campus of Columbia University. On March 8 of this year, U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Khalil at his New York City apartment, and then took him to a detention center in Louisiana as part of the formal deportation process. Kahlil is not an American citizen. He was born in the mid-1990s at a refugee camp in Syria. His parents are described as Palestinian and Algerian, so he has citizenship in Algeria. Before coming to America, he had earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science at Lebanese American University in Beirut, Lebanon, and then applied for admission into Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. In December of 2024, he received his master of public administration degree. According to all reports, he is a green-card holder and thus a legal resident of the United States who also happens to be married to a U. S. citizen. So far, he’s been careful to check all of the boxes, right? In the spring of 2024, a few months before he graduated from Columbia, those inorganic “pro-Palestine protests” started to erupt almost simultaneously on campuses across the country. Columbia became the site of some of the most contentious activity, and Kahlil was at the heart of it all. In April of that year, the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” set itself up on the East Butler Lawn and refused to budge. On April 29, an intimidating group of students, and possibly some non-students, occupied Hamilton Hall on campus. They stayed there for 24 hours until New York City police cleared them out.
