A Box Office Juggernaut

“Kalki 2898 AD” has been a box office behemoth since it hit theatres globally in June. This brainchild of director Nag Ashwin—a heady cocktail of mythology and futuristic sci-fi action—has shattered records, crossing the coveted 1,000 crore mark at the global box office. Little wonder, therefore, that fans are demanding a second helping!

Star Power Meets Visual Splendor

The factors that went into the potently heady cocktail, making the film lay its claim to success, can definitely be channeled down to mind-blowing visuals—transplanting viewers right in the middle of a futuristic world of fantasy—and a killer narrative. Add to this a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan, and you get a heady cocktail.

Haasan’s Milestone and a Sequel to Spark Curiosity

It was Kamal Haasan as the mysterious villain Yaskin who celebrated the historic box office feat. Taking to social media with a heartfelt video message, he expressed his delight by stating, “I have acted in more than 250 films; not many achieve this feat.” However, Haasan didn’t stop there and hinted at having an even bigger role in the sequel: “Kalki 2898 AD 2.”.

Kalki 2898 AD Plot

The film whisks audiences away on a journey in 2898—marrying science fiction with Indian mythology. Director Nag Ashwin, in an exclusive chat with ETimes, revealed why the makers behind this Marvel-like, sci-fi epic drama decided not to show the face of Lord Krishna in the film. “We wanted to keep the divinity mysterious,” Ashwin said, adding, “When you don’t show a human form, that God-like nature comes out more.”

While speculations were rife that actor Nani will be playing Lord Krishna’s character for the sequel, Ashwin clarified, “The concept of rebirth of an avatar wouldn’t fit the narrative.” So this scene sets up an even more interesting storyline of divinity for part two.

A Glimpse into the Future

In an interaction with Variety, Ashwin revealed that filming for the sequel is in full swing, with a significant portion already complete. He further allayed fans’ fears by saying that the second movie will clear up all the cliffhangers and open-ended questions left hanging in the first movie.

The anticipation of “Kalki 2898 AD” is at an all-time high. With the date of OTT release soon, fans will be voyaging into a world of action from the comfort of their couches. Keep a watch on official announcements by Prime Video India and Netflix India for the locking down of the exact streaming date. Buckle up to be enchanted by visuals of fantasy, a fight so epic, and a story that makes one crave more!
