Prepare for the “greatest battle” of the year as Prabhas faces off against Amitabh Bachchan in Nag Ashwin’s highly anticipated film, ‘Kalki 2898 – AD’. Filmmakers released the much-awaited trailer on Monday, showcasing a visual feast filled with AI cars and 3D effects that captivate the screen.
The trailer opens with a glimpse of Kaashi, depicted as a dystopian city and the last refuge on Earth. Desperate individuals from distant lands flock to the city in search of water, food, and shelter. Saswata Chatterjee plays the city’s ruler, who fixates on a pregnant woman portrayed by Deepika Padukone. Amitabh Bachchan’s character, Ashwatthama, tells Deepika’s character that she carries a god in her womb.
The tension escalates as the king seeks to capture the pregnant woman, who harbors his nemesis within her. Prabhas, playing Bhairava, is introduced as the invincible warrior tasked with this mission. Bhairava’s declaration, “I never lose a battle,” sets the stage for a dramatic confrontation. The burning question remains: will Bhairava triumph, or will he meet his match in Ashwatthama?
Adding to the intrigue, Kamal Haasan appears in an almost unrecognizable avatar towards the end of the trailer, while Disha Patani also takes on a significant role in the film. Sharing the trailer, Prabhas wrote, “The Future Unveiled… #Kalki2898AD Trailer is Here! See you in theatres on June 27th, 2024.”
The film’s teaser initially debuted at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) last year, building up considerable excitement. Directed by Nag Ashwin, known for his National Award-winning biographical drama *Mahanati* (2018), *Kalki 2898 – AD* marks the first collaboration between Deepika Padukone and Prabhas. However, Deepika and Amitabh Bachchan have previously worked together in the 2015 film *Piku*.
With its star-studded cast and visually stunning effects, *Kalki 2898 – AD* promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience, hitting theatres on June 27th, 2024.
