The highly anticipated Indian sci-fi film “Kalki 2898 AD” is nearing its release date, and the promotional efforts have gone into overdrive. After showcasing a unique vehicle named “Bujji” across the country, the makers unveiled a trailer that garnered a thunderous response. The “Bhairava Anthem,” featuring lead actor Prabhas alongside popular artist Diljit Dosanjh, has become a viral sensation on social media.
This ambitious project, boasting a massive budget of 600 crores, promises to transport audiences to a completely new world. The dedication of the entire team is evident in the making-of videos released earlier, which highlighted the meticulous attention to detail, from the design of a single vehicle tire to the costumes of characters inhabiting this dystopian future.
Recently, director Nag Ashwin shed light on the film’s origin story in a video. He revealed that “Kalki 2898 AD” functions as a sequel to the epic Mahabharata. Ashwin delved into his vision for the project, explaining how Indian mythology has been intricately woven into the narrative set against a dystopian backdrop. The five years spent developing this story culminated in this video, which has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from viewers.
While some suggest that director Ashwin should prioritize the release of such insightful videos over generic promotional songs to further heighten anticipation, there’s no denying the sheer scale and ambition of “Kalki 2898 AD.” This film promises to be a groundbreaking cinematic experience unlike anything ever witnessed on Telugu screens before.
