KALKI 2898 AD TRAILER: A TEASER OF GRANDEUR
The excitement for Kalki 2898 AD began building a few days ago with the release of its trailer, which offered a tantalizing glimpse into the film’s blend of mythology, sci-fi, and cutting-edge VFX. The 2.51-minute trailer showcases Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan portraying the legendary figure of Ashwatthama, who takes a vow to protect a pregnant Deepika Padukone. Her character’s child is presumably destined to end the reign of the antagonist, Saswata Chatterjee, who controls a technologically-advanced complex. As the narrative unfolds, viewers are treated to the sight of Telugu star Prabhas playing a character of ambiguous morality as he aids Chatterjee’s sinister plans.
The trailer culminates in a high-octane showdown between Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas, setting the stage for an epic face-off that promises to be one of the film’s highlights.

He expressed his admiration for the film’s ambitious vision and innovative approach: “It’s been a great honour to have worked on this project. To work in a setup where they have gone beyond what most of us have been doing all our lives in this film industry. And I really appreciate that they’re moving a little ahead of time and making us a part of it, working in conditions that we never thought we would be able to work in. I want to congratulate Nag Ashwin and the production for thinking of something like this film. It was a great honour for me to be a part of it.”
Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD is not merely a film; it is an experience. Blending mythological narratives with futuristic sci-fi elements, the movie promises to push the boundaries of cinematic storytelling. With its engrossing plot, stellar performances, and awe-inspiring visual effects, Kalki 2898 AD seems poised to redefine epic cinema for a new generation. As the initial flood of Twitter reviews suggests, this magnum opus is likely to remain a topic of discussion and admiration in the film community for a long time to come.
