Prabhas and Nag Ashwin have joined forces for the 2024 mega-hit, Kalki 2898 AD—a grand sci-fi epic set nearly 6,000 years after the Kurukshetra War, in a dystopian future. The story unfolds in the final known city, Kasi, under the iron-fisted rule of Supreme Yaskin, played by Kamal Haasan. Yaskin controls the population from a massive floating megastructure known as the Complex.
The sequel will delve further into the character of Supreme Yaskin, the formidable antagonist who gains even greater power. Prabhas’s character, Bhairava, along with Amitabh Bachchan’s immortal warrior, Ashwatthama, will continue their mission to protect SUM-80, the woman destined to carry the Kalki avatar, the tenth and final avatar of Lord Vishnu.
Reports suggest that Amitabh Bachchan’s screen presence will be significantly expanded in this instalment.
Remarkably, with just three films to his credit, Ashwin has already made a significant name for himself in the industry.
His debut, Yevade Subramanyam, offered a glimpse into his philosophical depth. This was followed by Mahanati, a heartfelt homage to the legendary Savitri garu, which garnered critical praise, numerous accolades, and box-office success. However, it’s with Kalki 2898 AD that Ashwin has truly captured global attention, cementing his place as a visionary director.
