On June 27, 2024, the much anticipated science fiction movie “Kalki 2898 AD” will make its world premiere. The film has already created a great deal of excitement and anticipation among fans and stars a spectacular ensemble cast of Indian cinema luminaries, including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani.
The excitement surrounding the project has increased even more with the news that was made today, precisely two months ahead of the release date. The producers announced the big announcement on social media, accompanied by a cinematic poster that showed Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone standing next to each other against the backdrop of a sepia-toned sky. “All the forces come together for a better tomorrow on —,” the creators captioned the image.
Kalki 2898 AD Look at this:
Fans were mesmerised by a recent sneak peek at the universe of “Kalki 2898 AD,” which starred Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama. The actor’s remarkable de-aging metamorphosis was especially noteworthy. A truly pan-Indian teaser, the character reveal featured a variety of languages, including English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. In the 21-second teaser, Bachchan is shown wearing cosy earthy tones and reclining in a cave, where she is worshipping to a Shiva linga. Beneath a quiet, soothing soundtrack, there’s a faint sound of a child’s voice asking, “Can you not die? Are you Godlike? Who are you?
Bachchan’s rich voice bellows, “Since ancient times, I have awaited the arrival of the Avatar,” as the tension builds. I am the son of Guru Drona. Ashwatthama,” he says adamantly.
Bachchan wrote, “It’s been an experience for me like no other,” when he posted earlier in the day on X (previously Twitter). The capacity to imagine such a thing, its implementation, its exposure to modern technologies, and—above all—its friendship with colleagues who demonstrate stratospheric Super star presence.
Ashwin promised “Kalki 2898 AD” would be an amazing visual spectacular when he teased fans with fascinating new details about the ambitious science-fiction project a few months ago. “I just wish that there was more tech to help us make this film, like three-four years back when we were in preproduction,” Ashwin said at the Synapse 2024 event in Gurgaon. Like this, we are building this new world. I’m just staring at this image on the screen right now, and all these other worlds that we are attempting to construct. We collaborate with a plethora of concept artists and provide prompts—obviously—in a very private, one-on-one manner while attempting to construct this world and provide references.
