Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has once again become the talk of the town, not for signing new films but for reportedly missing major projects. Industry buzz suggests that she lost out on big ventures, including Tollywood’s prestigious films Spirit and Kalki 2, due to strict conditions. Now, fresh reports claim that she has also missed an opportunity to feature in the popular Hollywood series The White Lotus Season 4.
According to film circles, the makers of the globally acclaimed series considered Deepika’s name for the upcoming season. The show enjoys a massive international reach, and actors who join its cast often gain worldwide recognition. Naturally, fans saw this as a strong chance for Deepika to strengthen her global presence.
However, sources say the team invited her to attend an audition. Reports suggest that Deepika declined to appear for it. As a result, the makers reportedly moved ahead with another actress for the role.
The news has disappointed many fans. They feel this project could have marked a solid Hollywood comeback for the actress. On social media, several users questioned why she would step away from such a high-profile international series, especially at a time when she is said to be selective about scripts.
Deepika earlier stepped into the Hollywood of Xander Cage. Although her role in the action film earned attention, she has not appeared in another major international project since then. Because of that gap, many believed The White Lotus would offer the perfect platform for a global return.
If these reports prove true, Deepika may have let go of another significant international opportunity. Still, neither the actress nor the series makers have released an official statement. Until then, fans can only wait for clarity on what really happened behind the scenes.
