Kalki 2898 AD Drops New Trailer

The makers of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ are ramping up the excitement for their upcoming film. On Friday night, a new trailer was released, giving audiences a deeper look into this highly anticipated movie. The trailer opens with Amitabh Bachchan’s character, Ashwathama, speaking to Deepika Padukone’s character, saying, “They say the whole universe resides within God. But God himself resides in your womb.” This profound statement sets the tone for the intriguing narrative.

The trailer also introduces more characters and expands on the film’s complex storyline.

Recently, a grand promotional event was held in Mumbai, attended by the film’s stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, and Rana Daggubati. During the event, Amitabh Bachchan shared his thoughts on working in the film and praised director Nag Ashwin for his visionary concept. Big B said, “Nagi came and explained the idea of Kalki 2898 AD. After he left, I thought, what the hell is Nagi drinking? To think of something like this is absolutely outrageous. Some of the visuals that you have seen just now are unbelievable. To have somebody conceive a project that is so futuristic is amazing.”

Bachchan added, “No matter what Nag Ashwin thought of, he actually got all the material and effects to match his vision. It has been an amazing experience working for Kalki 2898 AD, which I will never forget.”

Kamal Haasan also spoke about his character and his initial reaction to the project’s concept. He commended Ashwin, saying, “I don’t underestimate these ordinary-looking guys. They have a depth to them that does not show unless you talk to them. Great ideas translate better when you present them in the right way and Nagi knew how to do it.”

He added, “I always wanted to play a bad man because the bad man gets to do all the good things and have fun. Where the heroes are singing romantic songs and waiting for the heroine, he (bad guy) can just go ahead and do what he wants. I thought I was going to play the bad man so it’s going to be fun. But then, he (Ashwin) wanted it to be different. I’m almost like a sage in the film with a bad idea.”

Haasan’s look in the film has also garnered attention. He shared the effort that went into achieving the final look, stating, “This get-up took a long time. We travelled to Los Angeles. We failed a couple of times, before arriving on the first acceptable look for the director. I think and hope the audience will react the same way we did when we saw the look.”

Directed by Nag Ashwin, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is a post-apocalyptic film inspired by Hindu scriptures and set in the year 2898 AD. The cast also includes Disha Patani, and the film is slated for release on June 27. Don’t miss the new trailer that promises a cinematic experience filled with innovation and stellar performances.
