29 Apr - It was revealed that the highly-anticipated epic sci-fi film, "Kalki 2898 AD" will be released in June. The news was announced by Vyjayanthi Films on 27 April, as the studio unveils a new poster on social media and wrote, "All the forces come together for a better tomorrow on 27-06-2024".
The announcement came following the studio's unveiling of Amitabh Bachchan's character in the movie as the Immortal Ashwatthama.
The movie, directed by Nag Ashwin, is inspired by Hindu mythology and stars Prabhas as Bhairava, an alter ego of Kalki. Among other stars include Kamal Haasan as Kali, and Deepika Padukone as Padma. In a previous interview, Nag Ashwin stated, "The film starts with Mahabharat and ends in 2898 AD. It spans 6,000 years in time. We tried to create worlds, imagining what they would be like while still keeping it Indian and not making it look like Blade Runner."
