Deepika Padukone fans love to see her onscreen and she is top actress in Bollywood, previously she took exit from Kalki part 2 movie due to various reasons and her upcoming movies lineup is very interesting. She chooses projects slowly, carefully, almost like she’s building a long-term plan. And honestly, it shows. Her lineup for the next few years feels big, bold. Here’s a simple look at what she’s got coming up.
1. King (Expected Release: 2026)
Deepika made her debut movie with Shah Rukh khan and she reunites with Shah Rukh Khan once again, they were last seen together in Pathan movie which is a blockbuster and earned nearly 1000 cr bollywood box office collections. The SRK King movie is much awaited and the trailer of KING move is released on KING Khan Birthday (on nov 1st). The film is being shaped as a slick, high-energy action story with a modern feel and srk is seen in new look with grey hair and new avatar – never seen before.
What makes it interesting is the cast around it, a mix of familiar names and new faces, new srk look, and the overall scale. Shooting began in 2025, and the team seems to be taking their time with it. With SRK and Deepika sharing the screen again, expectations are naturally high.
2. AA22xA6 (Working Title — Possible Release: Late 2025 or 2027)
This one is huge in terms of ambition. Deepika teams up with Allu Arjun, Janhvi Kapoor, and director Atlee for a large-scale pan-Indian action drama. Even though the title floating around is still temporary, people already call it “the big crossover film.”
There’s been talk about the release shifting — some say end of 2025, others feel it’ll land closer to 2027 — but either way, it’s shaping up to be one of her biggest projects in terms of production and reach.
3. Brahmastra Part Two: Dev (Expected Release: December 2026)
Deepika appears again as Amrita, a character that left people curious even with her short appearance in the first film.
Part Two is supposed to dive deeper into the world Ayan Mukerji started building, and Deepika’s role is expected to be much larger this time. With more mythology, more world-building, and a darker tone, this one is set to be one of the big holiday releases of 2026.
4. Other Projects, Delays & Quiet Exits
Deepika has stepped away from a couple of earlier announced films including the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD and another film that was supposed to pair her with Prabhas. Exit reason is just schedule shifts and maybe a clearer idea of what she wants to do next.
What’s clear is that she’s going for fewer films, but the ones she’s picking are big movies.
Where She Seems Headed Next
Watching her choices over the past two years, you can tell Deepika’s leaning toward:
- Bigger, larger budgets, larger worlds
- A mix of Hindi and South collaborations
- Strong, layered roles rather than just big star pairings
- Quality over speed, especially after becoming a mom
She’s not in the “four films a year” phase anymore. She doesn’t need to be.
What Fans Should Know
Release dates for big films are postponed around all the time to avoid clash with other movies, so some of these announced release dates might be postponed in future. But the overall lineup gives a good idea of where Deepika’s energy is right now: thoughtful choices, strong scripts, and projects that make noise long before they hit theatres.
