What gave Deepika Padukone the right to get Vicky Kaushal thrown out?

SLB believed that Vicky was replaceable and Deepika was not.. I would say Vicky dodged a bullet.. Ratan Singh was not a well written character

It's a different matter about the character not being well written. If Vicky had walked out due to creative difference, it would have been acceptable (though, I guess he wouldn't have done that: was too new then). He was deprived of an opportunity and that is unfair.

She was most probably given option of choosing Shahid or a Vicky.
And Vicky wasn't a big deal during that time.
Regular public didn't know him.
Shahid although not really a big commercial star, still is a popular name and people do know him.



While it is obviously unfair, but that is how business work, talent takes backseat when it comes to marketing, hence Vidyut who is more capable of playing Tiger in TZH, will never play Tiger but an old Salman who doesn't even do his stunts.
Padmavat is a blockbuster, could have been HGOTY had it not been banned in some states, so the gamble paid off for Deepika and SLB.
They will see it as a good decision, they don't cares whether critics or online cinephiles found her and Shahid's acting lackluster.

And how do you know that is true? Vicky himself denied it.
