Deepika Padukone, visibly pregnant, attended the Pre Release event for her upcoming sci-fi film “Kalki 2898 AD” on Wednesday. The actress embraced her baby bump in a stylish black dress.
During the Pre Release event, host Rana Daggubati playfully commented on Deepika’s appearance, suggesting she remained in character from the movie. Deepika’s character, Sumathi, is pregnant in the film.
“You have been pushed into being a method actor,” Rana joked, to which Deepika laughingly agreed. She further explained, “The movie went on for three years, so I thought why not just a few months more?”
