Alia Bhatt in Talks for Kalki 2898 AD Sequel and NTR's Dragon

Alia Bhatt, who made a notable impact in Telugu cinema with her role in RRR, is now at the center of speculation about joining two of the industry's most anticipated projects. According to recent reports, Alia has been approached to replace Deepika Padukone in the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. While the production team has not yet issued an official statement, the buzz suggests that her involvement is highly probable.

The Kalki 2898 AD sequel, directed by Nag Ashwin, has seen its schedule adjusted as Prabhas, the film's lead, is currently committed to completing Fauzi and Spirit before returning to the project. This has led to a delay in the shoot, with an official announcement expected once the timelines are finalized.

Adding to the excitement, Alia Bhatt is also reportedly in advanced discussions for a significant role in NTR's Dragon. Directed by Prashanth Neel and produced on a grand scale, Dragon is set to resume filming this month and is targeting a global release in June 2027. The project has already generated considerable attention due to the combination of NTR and Prashanth Neel, and Alia's potential addition is seen as a major draw for fans.

Earlier this year, speculation about Alia's involvement in Dragon surfaced, marking what could be her second major Telugu film after RRR. The production team is expected to make an official announcement regarding her casting soon, as talks are reportedly in the final stages.

With both projects still awaiting formal confirmation, fans are closely watching for updates on Alia Bhatt's next moves in the Telugu film industry.
