Last month, during the promotions of Fighter, director Siddharth Anand apparently confirmed that Deepika Padukone would be seen in the international series, The White Lotus. The series was globally feted after it premièred in July 2021. Subsequently, the anthology show was renewed for a second edition, which premièred in October 2022. The success of the two seasons ensured that The White Lotus was renewed for the third instalment, set to release next year. Deepika was said to join the cast, including Jennifer Coolidge, Natasha Rothwell, and Alexandra Daddario. While the first season was shot in Maui, the second instalment was filmed in Sicily. The upcoming edition, which also features Blackpink’s Lisa aka Lalisa Manobal, is said to have been shot in Thailand. Now, rumours are rife that Deepika may opt out of the show for reasons yet unknown. Although there is no official word from the actor, it remains to be seen if she will head to the East Asian country for the shoot or give it  a miss.
