The eagerly awaited sci-fi blockbuster ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is poised to captivate global audiences when it premieres on June 27, 2024. Featuring a remarkable ensemble cast of Indian cinema legends including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, the film has already generated significant buzz and anticipation among fans.
Recently, Prabhas’ Baahubali co-star and close friend Rana Daggubati opened up about the film as he cheered for him and his team. Rana Daggubati appeared on a podcast with Vamshi Kurapati for his YouTube channel, where he shared, “The next big moment is Kalki. Nag Ashwin is a very dear friend. Not just India and the Indian diaspora, but everyone in the world, will connect to Kalki. For a long time, I have been waiting for an Avengers moment from our side. That’s what has excited me to be part of it.”
A recent preview of the world of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ featuring Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama captivated fans, particularly with the impressive de-ageing transformation of the iconic actor. The character reveal, a true pan-India teaser, presented a mix of languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and English. The 21-second teaser commences with Bachchan, adorned in warm earthy tones, seated in a cave, engaged in prayer to a Shiva linga. Accompanied by a serene backdrop of calming music, a child’s voice is faintly heard inquiring, “Can you not die? Are you divine? Who are you?”
With escalating tension, Bachchan’s resonant voice proclaims, “Since ancient times, I have awaited the arrival of the Avatar. I am Guru Drona’s son. Ashwatthama,” he asserts firmly.
Several months ago, filmmaker Ashwin disclosed captivating details about the grand science-fiction venture, assuring audiences that ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ would deliver an extraordinary visual feast. Addressing the Synapse 2024 event in Gurgaon, Ashwin expressed, “I just wish that there was more tech to help us make this film, like three-four years back when we were in preproduction. We are creating this new world, like… I am just looking at this picture right now on the screen, and all these different worlds that we are trying to create, we work with so many different concept artists and give prompts, obviously, again, in a very personal, one-on-one sort of way, and try to give references and build this world.”
Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is poised to be the biggest cinematic event of the year. With its stellar cast, the movie is eagerly preparing for its release on June 27, 2024.
