“Kalki 2898 AD” has become the third Tollywood film to gross over Rs. 1000 crore, continuing its impressive box office run. Directed by the imaginative Nag Ashwin and starring the pan-Indian actor Prabhas, the movie remains a hit with audiences. Recent revelations by production designer Nitin Zihani Choudhary have added to the film’s buzz.
In a recent interview, Nitin Zihani clarified some aspects of the character Supreme Yaskin played by Kamal Haasan. Contrary to earlier beliefs, Yaskin is not the powerful Kali. Instead, he is one of the fallen gods responsible for managing a Complex in Kaasi. Nitin Zihani also disclosed that there are seven such Complexes worldwide, with others located in places like America and Africa, each guarded by powerful beings similar to Yaskin.
These updates provide significant spoilers for fans eagerly awaiting the sequel to “Kalki 2898 AD.” The new information has increased excitement for the movie and its extensive plot, showcasing the creative vision of director Nag Ashwin.
Kalki 2898 AD begins at the end of Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra War, marking the start of Kali Yuga in 3102 BC. Post-Mahabharata, Ashwatthama is tasked by Lord Krishna to protect his final avatar when the time comes.
Fast forward to 2898 AD, the world has become a dystopia under the rule of the self-proclaimed god, Supreme Yaskin. While many strive to gain favor in his land called Complex, others rebel against his tyranny. Amidst this, hope arises in the form of an unborn child in SUM-80, also known as Sumathi. With Yaskin and his followers aiming to extract the life source from the child, an epic tale unfolds, setting the stage for the rest of the film.
